susandennisAfter much forum searching, bitching, moaning, whaling and carrying on, I finally figured out how - with relatively minimal effort - to rip library book CD's into mp3's with the information needed to correctly sort them on my player as books! Now I can tell it to Play All Music and it does not slap in a podcast or a book mp3! And, my books are read to me with all the bits in order. Yahoooo!
I really do like the Sansa Clip Plus. Better than the Creative Zen I have used for years. The Zen is easier to 'get' when you start from scratch and does have 10 bookmarks you can use but the Clip remembers were you were when you last 'listened' and heck, that's all I want. Plus it's tiny and does everything I need. Oh and it's a lot cheaper.

When I first got my TomTom GPS, it read me street names. It wasn't very creative in the pronunciation but it's sure better to get a clue exactly where instead of just 'turn left'. And then, it lost that voice. It has lots of voices but all of them turned left. None of them turned left onto Occidental.
Again bitching, swearing, forum combing turned up the fix and it now tells me street names again.

I'm going to have to get into serious eBay mode here pretty soon. I have the dead Lifebook (for parts) and it has 3 batteries and 5 styluses, and two Creative Zens and soon a GPS.
My bank will be giving me a Garmin here pretty soon for switching my accounts. I'm going to give it a whirl. If it's a nice as my last one, I'll keep it and sell the TomTom. I like a lot about the TomTom but the Garmin wins over all.
