Those are all great ideas, and, in fact, we have all but one down on our =
"to do" list already. Let me throw out a possible alternative--what about =
if you press play on a file, and it is already at the end, Book Port would =
reset that file's pointer to the beginning which would, in effect, make it =
so every file always started for the beginning once you pressed play while =
at the end of the file?

Please do post the suggestions right here. There are at least 5

on this list, and we all pay attention.
OK! IN that case, I'd like to offer a few minor suggestions that would
(in my opinion) improve this already outstanding product.
Folder reset: I'd like to see a command whereby you could reset all=20
files in a particular folder to the beginning of the file. This would=20
be especially helpful for folders that contain music. I love the fact=20
that mp3's don't automatically reset, since this makes listening to=20
books possible. But having to "rewind" every song is a bit
inconvenient=20
where music files are concerned. Being able to do this for all of the=20
files in a folder would be a nice little time-saving feature.
Recording safeguard: I think it might be helpful to set the record=20
button so that it has to be held down until a beep is heard before=20
recording starts. I find that I'm always accidentally starting to=20
record just by bumping the BookPort. I think that having a safeguard=20
against accidental recordings would be very helpful.
Volume: I think it would be good to be able to decrease the volume
past=20
the 25 setting. I say this because audio files seem to be awfully
loud.=20
I can only listen to them comfortably with headphones that have a=20
built-in volume control.
Punctuation: I think a level between the current "some" and "most"=20
levels would be good. As an example, I think a level that announced=20
quotes and parentheses but not commas or periods would be especially=20
helpful.
Well, that's about it for now. I don't want these suggestions to be=20
taken as heavy criticism. I love my BookPort. It's great to have books
and music together on one wonderfully accessible machine. These are=20
just a few things that might be relatively easy to implement which=20
would make the operation smoother, in my opinion.
Thanks for listening,
Angie
