The p[ronunciations still need to be worked on. I don't know what is involved in that on a small device like the Book Sense, but for me that is the one foible that can annoy me if I am not in the right frame of mind.
As for your description of music titles, I am not using my Book Sense that way, but from a reading standpoint, hearing words now where the er or o r sound is often just left off isn't really the answer either. They have toned that done in this way which is why I say some of the mispronunciations are a bit more subtle than they were, but we aren't there just yet.

I don't think the mispronunciations are all that subtle. I have a few hundred music folders on one of my 32GB SD cards, and it mispronounces lots of the artist and title names that my Window Eyes with Eloquence does not. And it has this quavery, or choppy, or jumpy, I'm not sure how to describe it, quality to it. Whatever it is, it isn't a smooth sound. The pitch jumps around even within individual words, and it makes it harder to follow at faster rates, unlike the smoothness of the Eloquence voice.
