Hi Neal Moaner..
I definately would agree with the suggestion for giving the user a
choice as to whether a MP3 file is read only or not.
The second idea is good also. I usuall don't remember the brackets
and just go to edit and choose select and begiining or end, but
that's my problem for not remembering all the things about every
piece of software that I use that I should Guess it has something
to do with age or the number of software packages I use all the
time.

Hello Rob and company. Perhaps you could comment on the
suggestions
mentioned below.
1. When opening an MP3 file, the user is given an option to
either
process the file so it is not a read only file, or have it be
opened as
read only. Of course, this could be a choice in the preferences
dialog
that a person could set permanently or until it was changed again.
I
suggest this because navigating through read only MP3 files gives
you
different amounts of scrubbing when you are moving through the
file. I
assume that this is because you don't have as much control over a
read
only file as one in which you have loaded information about the
file
that allows one to scrub more correctly. I can see why you might
not
want to process them as a matter of course as they are opened, but
having a choice might work for some people in some situations.
2. Presenting a beep tone or some error message if one presses say
the
"Right Bracket" key without pressing the "Left Bracket" key before
pressing either delete or shift delete. I have occasionally
thought I
was deleting a small portion of a file but I had not pressed the
left
bracket. So, when I press the right bracket and then the delete
key, it
deletes from where I am to the beginning of the file. If I don't
know
that has happened, I continue editing the end portion of the file
and
then I go back to play the file and discover that the first 20
minutes
or so are gone. I would much rather have to perform the normal
Microsoft key strokes for deleting to the beginning or end of the
file
instead of doing it by pressing the bracket keys and then delete.
But
if the present scenario is kept, I would definitely like a warning
if I
have not hit both keys before deleting.
Thanks for listening to me moan and groan about a great product.
Neal
