Hi, Thanks very much, guess I wasn't holding down the key long enough.

Am perfectly happy with my unit except that I am having trouble moving to the beginning of an mp3 file, when it is already playing, so I can hear it from the start. Any help on this would be appreciated, believe the manual says to either press 1 or three but I must be doing something wrong because that does not seem to be working. Thanks in advance.

Yes. It holds your position in each file on the unit. >Can you put book marks in mp3 files? Yes. This is very convenient. You can also use the "power move" commands to instantly jump from your current position in the file to a point halfway between that current position and either the beginning or the end of the file. In other words, if you are at the beginning, and you use the power move forward command, you will be halfway through the file. If you use the power move backward command from that point, you will be 1/4 of the way through the file. This can make it easy to find information in large files. Did that make sense? >I see you can arrange the speed up of the playback of mp3's during file >download but are there plans to improve the speed control of mp3 playback? I don't know about this one. But the current way of doing it is helpful. It also compresses the files before they are sent to the unit. I see your questions about betas have already been answered. I will just add that personally, I'd be unbelievably thrilled if they introduced a "shuffle" function for mp3's. And I'll echo the sentiment that the BP is my favorite piece of access technology. Now that it serves as a basic braille notetaker as well, it's incredibly useful as well as fun. The battery life is every bit as good as advertized. Personally, I'd recommend the BP over the BC , since the keyboard of the BC is not designed in such a way that you could take braille notes. Of course, this might not matter to you. Angie
