I know it sounds like that but you don't. The player's internal memory appears as one drive and if you get a mc card it appears as another.

' Subject: RE: mp3 player that plays wma's Thanks for the responses folks. I did find info on the Motorola players. If I can find one of the m25 units for a good price, I may try one. One thing that was not mentioned on the Motorola site was whether it appeared as another drive in Windows Explorer when plugged into USB. It sounded like you had to use their own software to transfer files to the device. Although I know you have to use Windows Media Player to transfer the protected WMA files from NetLibrary, I am wondering if the device supports Windows Explorer as well. --Warmest regards, --Rick Alfaro [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tim Grady Sent: Tuesday, September 19, 2006 10:31 AM To: 'PC audio discussion list. ' Subject: RE: mp3 player that plays wma's I don't know how useful this will be but I found this on sale at a best buy store. If you go to www.motorola.com you should be able to find info on their mp3 players. As far as ff and rw in files goes there's no audio feedback, so I just had to get used to the time I held the joystick in the ff or rw position. There's a bookmark feature for multiple bookmarks but if all you want the player to do is remember where you left off in a file it does that without you doing anything. It is audible ready, but I only use it for netlibrary or overdrive audio books. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Alfaro Sent: Monday, September 18, 2006 10:56 PM To: 'PC audio discussion list.

Also, what did you mean by "if you have a good memory you can bookmark more than one file.". Appreciate the info. --Warmest regards, --Rick Alfaro [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tim Grady Sent: Monday, September 18, 2006 7:08 PM To: 'PC audio discussion list.

If you have a good memory you can bookmark more than 1 file. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kathy Szinnyey Sent: Monday, September 18, 2006 5:11 PM To: PC audio discussion list. Subject: Re: mp3 player that plays wma's Hi, Rick! Sorry for my delayed response to your post. At the moment, I don't know of any good accessible player that will bookmark your net library books. I'm not saying there isn't something, but I haven't found it yet. Maybe some IRiver product might do it? I don't know. I've been going for the cheap stuff for folks who don't have much money but want to access these Net Library books. I think you have to go to high-end players to get that bookmarking capability. Really annoying, I know. Kathy Szinnyey [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Alfaro" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'PC audio discussion list.
