Alright then, Rhonda. Give me a call at your convenience. It would be
helpful if you had your player connected to some speakers so I could
hear it while we go through it and track down what's happning.

Please bear with me a minute, Rhonda. I don't mean deleting things
with your computer. I mean when you turn your player on and you go
into recent bookmarks. Have you deleted those yet? If not, please do.

I even checked in the root directory and deleted them also.
I noticed in the root directory they're showing up as bookMarks,
but when I go to open it it shows up as .mp3

What particular feature is that? I thought you said the problem was
that your bookmarks included the file name extension? Do the bookmarks
not work at all?

Have you deleted all the bookmarks from the recent bookmarks menu
item? If not, I suggest you do so. Once the recent bookmarks is empty,
open up a new book, create a bookmark, and then let me know if the
newly created and only bookmark in the recent bookmarks menu item is
still reading out the file name extension. We may have to dig into the
recent bookmarks settings to find out if anything has been changed in
there that might be causing this.

I guess I won't be able to use that particular feature.
As I said I started from scratch,
voicing files and folders.
 and then tried creating or making the bookMark.

That must either be a bookmark that was created before you recreated
the talk files that excluded the file name extensions, or a bookmark
for a book which is no longer on your player as the talk file would
be
missing.

To test this, start a new book for which you recently created a talk
file, create a bookmark, and check in recent bookmarks to see what it
says in the newly created bookmark.

Hi Rhonda,

I didn't say to delete anything. The folders and files you have on
your player have nothing to do with it.

Is your player speaking the folder and file names or spelling them
out?

Are you hearing the file name extensions in the recent bookmarks
menu
item or inside the files menu item?

It sounds like something isn't being done that should be.

If a talk file is created with the file name extension stripped
off,
then that is what the player will say when it runs accross that
file,
just the file name and not the file name extension. For example,
Lean
on Me.

However if the talk files are created without the file name
extensions
being stripped off, then the player will say both the file name and
the file name extension. For example, Lean on Me.MP3.

There's no way around it, either the file name extension is being
stripped off when the talk files are created, or they're not. Talk
files are just recordings that the player uses to speak the file
names. it's like Bill Withers not saying "Boo!" at the end of the
song
when he recorded it, yet when you hear it, he says "Boo!" at the
end
of the song. It can't happen. You need to strip off the file name
extensions when you create the talk files. If you don't, then it'll
say dot mp3 at the end of the song name.

I've already told you which settings in RBClip need to be adjusted
to
deal with your issue. I suggest you listen to the audio tutorial
called, "Enabling your folders and files to be spoken on the
Talking
MP3 Players.mp3" as I explain each setting found in RBClip and give
my
suggestions on how to set it up.

I hope that helps,

Laz

Well, you'll need to use RBClip to create new talk clips. Since
you
wish to overwrite the ones that are already there, you need to
checkmark the overwrite clips option. You'll also need to go
into
options and ensure that strip file name extentions is checked.
Then
create the necessary talk clips for the folders and files.

Hi Rhonda,

If you created talk files that included the file name
extension,
then
you'll hear .mp3 or whatever the file name extension is. If
you
haven't created talk files, you'll hear it in recent bookmarks
when
the file name is spelled out. In either case, the solution is
to
create talk files that don't include the file name extension.

Regards,

Laz

Hi Rhonda,

That's not an update. In fact it's an older version of
Rockbox
with
an
experimental attempt to use ESpeak to read text documents.

Hey all. I have been attempting for the past hour or half
hour
to
download
the latest firmware for the clip plus. I've had no
success.

I
was
wondering
if anyone else on this list could attempt to download the
zip
file
and
see
if the problem could be my browser or maybe I am doing
something
incorrect.
The link is as follows:

Have a nice night.
