Oh John Gunn, John, John, John, <shaking my head in dismay>! Please re-read that post, and read every subsequent post from me and other people, carefully. First of all, I was NOT talking about MP3 files, but wave files. Second, I was not giving instructions on how to play the file using the Media Player which cannot play wave files in the first place even if you crucify your BrailleNote upside-down. Third, if you spent some time reading and understanding that post, it was clear there that .wav files had to be played by placing it in the Keysoft Systems Disk, not the Flash Disk, and that the Directory option of the File Manager was used. Thus, the size of the .wav file, I repeat, .wav (not .mp3 file) needed to be more or less half the remaining space of the Keysoft Systems Disk for it to play because Keysoft needs some space in that drive to play it. Fourth, we had a thread here before, started by Paul Hendrichsen, about the size limit of MP3 (I repeat, MP3, not wave) files that can be played on the BN where he was saying that there was a limit, and I, along with other people, said there was no limit to the file size, because that's true as far as my personal experience can tell. Though I use the BN's Media Player for a reason different from yours, I also end up playing MP3 files that are just as large as what you have mentioned... problem is, John Gunn, I wasn't talking about MP3 files in the post you have hurriedly read and mindlessly reacted to. Fifth, another thing you missed in that post is that I said it's an UNDOCUMENTED and UNSUPPORTED feature. The Media Player used for MP3 (I repeat, MP3, not wave) files is discussed in the manual in chapter 5 and the Command Summary. It was one of the features listed for version 5.0. In other words, that statement in my post alone should've dropped an anvil on your head and made you realize that I couldn't be talking about the Media Player and describe it as being an undocumented and unsupported item in Keysoft. Finally, if you want to know how wave files are played on the BN, because I'm sure that by this time, you still don't know, then you have to dig that post from the list archives because I'm not re-posting. You see, it's not exactly flattering to find out that some people don't really give enough time to read and understand my post, even if they have bothered to open the message.
Sorry folks for sounding so cranky in this message, I'm running a fever and not in the mood to be a sweetheart, but need to correct this misunderstanding so I'm posting anyway. (Gosh, does anyone remember the infamous John White? I was just reminded of him by this.)
