The Victor reader stream has a folder called otherbooks. When you place a
multi-part mp3 book in it, it treats the multi-part mp3 book as if it's one
book. It will remember where you left off when listening to the book.

Now if the booksense would handle multi-part mp3 books like the stream
does, that would be great.

Mp3 books, hmm, well, there are issues. They will be worked out with
firmware updates, but one thing you may consider is putting them in the
music folder, and having the book sense tell you the file names as it
begins the next file playing, and in that way you will kind of know where
you are. Book marks only mark one place in one file, meaning if you're
listening to file 2 and wish to recall a book mark earlier in the book,
the book marks will not, yet, transcend files. That is a pain in the
butt, since, not only book marks you make, but place markers that the
book sense "thinks" you wish to remember are remembered. Here's a
scenario, you're listening to file 3, and realize it is way beyond where
you wish to be, and go to file 2. When then, file 3 begins, you are where
you were before you went back to file 2, and that can be problematic
since you will then not have the continuity of hearing the finish of one
part and the smooth transition into the next, but where you left off the
other time you accidently listened to the third file, etc. If you skim
all the files, place markers are remembered for each file you auditioned
as such, which means, every time you return to that file, it plays from
whenst you left off for each file you "auditioned," get the idea?
I do not know if the Book Sense does this with music files, that's why I
suggested you put the book in the music folder, it may work better.

Hi,
After reading the message below I would appreciate some clarification
from anyone. In order to listen to an MP3 book with the media player in
the audio books folder, does the book have to be one track? I do hope
not. As I do not have many DAISY books on hand I'll primarily be
listening to books via the media player and I would hate to have to
merge all the files from a book into one track. I'd prefer to leave them
in the audio books folder to keep things organized as I have a bundle of
files I wish to place in the music folder, and it would make navigation
easier if I keep things organized. Also I've just joined this list as I
haven't yet purchased a BookSense but I am considering doing so. Are
there any known bugs in the media player? Thanks a lot, any honest
answers will be very much appreciated.
Cheers,
Tanya

Hi, List,
Today, I decided to try an experiment. Many of you, (and the manual
also), had told me I would need to copy the audiobooks I had ripped to
mp3 files into the audiobooks folder. But I didn't. I copied a book
into the music folder. All of the files were copied, except the
playlist.m3u that was at the end of each folder. That was fine with
me, because I didn't really need to copy those files. And guess what?
The book played exactly the way I wanted it to! I could jump from
track to track without any problem! And I didn't need to join the
tracks into one big track!

Jeremiah 29:11-14 (Amplified Bible)
11For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord,
thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you
hope in your final outcome.
12Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me, and I
will hear and heed you.
13Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a vital
necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.(A)
14I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will release you from
captivity and gather you from all the nations and all the places to which
I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place
from which I caused you to be carried away captive.
