Tim, Do you have a link for more info on this Motorola unit?
Can you rewind and fast forward through a large NetLibrary book with no issues? 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. ' Subject: RE: mp3 player that plays wma's No you don't. I bought a Motorola M25 for $29 that works great with the net library books as long as it stops before the battery runs completely down. 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.
