Got it and love it ... but a few questions - Page 2

Aha! Got one! I managed to transfer an MP3 file to my 'music' folder. Great! Thanks for the help. So just a couple more questions if I may. Any ideas of transfering non-MP3 files to the 'music' folder? and if I manage to get more than one file in there, is it obvious how to select the one that I want? I assume so, but as I don't have another MP3 file, I can't experiment. I'll be glad of any suggestions for moving my non-MP3 files - they are just regular CD books. Thanks again for all the help

The music folder is currently only for the background music player which you'll find in the Experimental part of the menu. The player is currently extremely basic and you only get stop, play and skip forward as controls. You don't get any indication of what it is playing currently or what is about to play. If you want to listen to a particular song again then you're going to be doing skip skip skip skip skip skip until you hear it start again.

If you put MP3s into the audible folder then its treated as an audiobook. You'll get greater control over what is played since you can select individual files to play. The downside is that this doesn't work like the background music as its an audiobook. You can only be listening to that file and you have to select the next file yourself when it ends.
