I don't think long file names are a problem. Remember that most OS's these days support that. ;-) Most of the CDs I ever made were under NT. Long filenames galore. The navigation is great. You can skip directories, files, anything. > 2 - Does it play Variable Bit Rate MP3s? > 3 - What happens if it is told to play a file that is not an > MP3 (say, a .txt file that ended being included on my > ISO)? I believe that it ignores anything non-MP3. Check out <http://www.genica.com/Mp3-Tavarua.htm>. It even has the manual online. You can see it all. Read reviews, too. They love it. One fault everyone has is that it feels cheap. And no read-out of track names, just numbers. They say that the next generation should have more of a display. But you are getting a 650 meg MP3 player for less than $100. Worth it. One reason I got it was that I could totally see a big company buying the rights to it and then selling it for at least three times what the Genica is sold for. -Ken -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] AIM: ScopusFest
