Playing MP3 files on Sony Reader
If I download an Audio Book in MP3 format can this be played on the reader,
in the same way as music files? Thanks. |

Bernard--As long as it's MP3 and not WMA, the reader will play it.
If you think you'll be listening to a lot of audio books though, I recommend buying a dedicated mp3 player. One thing that's important for listening to audio books is that the mp3 have a resume feature. That means if you stop listening in the middle of a file, the player will picked up where you left off. Not very fun to try and find your place in the middle of a long audio file each time you start listening. I'm not sure if the Reader would do this or not. dordale |

Thanks Dordale for your help. Would not intend to play many audio books but it was just a thought I had. Looking forward to getting my 505 shortly. Hope I have no probs with
formats etc Bernard |
