Hi Grant and list:

I'm glad you raised the question. Please consider the following scenario:

You are in a folder containing several files. You have set automatic file advance to yes. Suppose you've listened for an hour or so. Now you'd like to know where you are. You can press 5 to get the time. Suppose it says something like 5:40. This tells you you are 5 minutes forty seconds into the file, but what file? But you know you've been listening for longer than that. Remember, I said you've listened for an hour or so. How is this possible? Well, it is possible because you have obviously got to the end of the file you were originally in and advanced on. But how far on have you advanced? So no, you don't just *know what you're listening to. Having the filename back in the stats would leave you in no doubt. Some of us know how valuable this is because we remember when it used to be there.

Cheers,
Dave

Not meaning to be rude, but wouldn't you generally know what you're listening to though? :-)

How about putting the amount in the settings keypad and put the filename
back in the stats key.
I miss that and it would be nice.

Actualy, I think they removed it to make room for the amount of space left
on the card. As I recall, they couldn't have both. I like being able to
find out how much room is left on the card but I also wish there were a way
to get the name of the current file. I can't tell you how many times I've
been deep into a book but just couldn't recall the exact title. Of course
it is possible to simply move up or back 1 file and then return to the one
in question with the star or pound keys and get the file name that way. Lou
