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.

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 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.

As I said I started from scratch, voicing files and folders. and then tried creating or making the bookMark. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Laz" <lazmesa6@xxxxxxxxx> To: <tmp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2014 2:44 PM Subject: [tmp] Re: updating an older playerThat 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 talkfile, create a bookmark, and check in recent bookmarks to see what itsays in the newly created bookmark.

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 extensionsbeing stripped off, then the player will say both the file name andthe 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 nameextensions when you create the talk files. If you don't, then it'llsay 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 TalkingMP3 Players.mp3" as I explain each setting found in RBClip and givemy suggestions on how to set it up.

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.

If youhaven't created talk files, you'll hear it in recent bookmarkswhen the file name is spelled out. In either case, the solution is to create talk files that don't include the file name extension.
