Thanks, that was useful to show the process (and the youTube video), but ...

- the libra doesn't get the author name from the filename, it uses the whole file name as the title

- when you leave the book the libra will remember the file you were reading (the "chapter") but will read it from the beginning, and unfortunately there's no indication of total duration or read time
I can live with the first, but the second is (almost) a deal breaker to have to scan forward in a chapter file to resume. A number of the PD ABs I pull in have (e.g.) 12 - 15 hours merged into a single MP3 file. I can slice into (e.g.) 30 min chunks with arbitrary splits, but that gets ugly and hard to manage

I currently use a very aging iPod for Audiobooks so I might end up with two devices
