Otto, I am sure that APH is monitoring this list and that your
suggestion will be read. In the mean time, simply press and hold the
"One," key and you will immediately be at the beginning of the file. I
know, this is only half the problem, because now, when you arrow through
files, it will play each file you arrow to from the point you left off
unless you press and hold the "One," key in all of them. I think you
have a good point.

hello,
I can understand what you mean, the kind of problem you had will not
happen in this unit unless you remove the batteries for an extended
period of time.
I still wish that there was a way to turn off the option of having the
unit go to the portion of the file you left off on, for things like OTR
and music.
I am very well aware that this unit was mainly designed for reading
books, but it seems to me that both options could exist on one unit.
As far as file support, I am with you on that, and hope that the unit
will some day support aug files also.
Otto

firmware
Hi all,
I have just finished cursing very much at my mp3 player. You see, I've
been working vigorously to get net library books to be downloadable on
my computer. After finally doing absolutely nothing to my settings, I
got curious and tried downloading just for the heck of it. Wow! My first
book downloaded. I was excited- and after aquiring the license (these
are protected wma files), I transfered it onto my mp3 player. This book,
if anyone is interested, was the shining, by stephen king. It was 15
hours long. After 5 hours, I had to go for dinner. I powered off the mp3
player. And, it turned out, the "resume" function on this particular mp3
player is to go to the beginning of any file that was playing. (so, I
fast forwarded through 5 hours of material). I've said some very bad
words in my time, but not as many as today. And, finally, I got to the
twelve hour point. Frustrating, the battery dies. Fast forward for
another half an hour. Out of all of this, I would like to see the
bookport support secure .wma files. I will be surely talking with the
folks at PNY for a firmware update, and hope that, if wma files aren't
supported, that doesn't matter- the bookport is stil excellent, and I
guess it will have a great update, nethertheless I am very dissapointed
in PNY's "resume" function...
Sorry for the long message, I am just in desperate need of the bookport
supporting .wma files.
thanks!
Tyler
