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

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
