Hi, Brian.
	You said
	One correction to Aman's comments about the mp3clipgen script -
it's
not 
going to work (AFAIK) if you specify a drive letter as the input. It 
must be a folder. The script operates recursively, and folders and 
drives are accessed by different methods in vbscript. It *could* be made
to use a drive letter, but it won't as presently coded. So J:\music is 
fine, but j:\ is not.
	Hmm. That's odd. I can get it to use 
	j:\
	quite easily. It creates a .dirname.tbx file in the root
directory
as well, but it certainly works for all the other directories, just as
if I
had entered
	j:\music
	Have you tried this on Windows XP? I've only used it on that
system,
and perhaps it interprets Vbscript differently somehow. 
	Aman

If you just want the folders and files to be identified by a number, 
then you need not create any voice clips. You only need a recent daily 
build of rockbox and a copy of the voice file for your desired language.
I think that English, French, and German vioce files have been created 
by people so far. It is possible to create your own voice file if you're
willing to do a little work. Here's the page with links to the already 
made voice files, BTW:
http://rockbox.haxx.se/lang/
And yes, it does currently show links for deutsch/english/francais.
One correction to Aman's comments about the mp3clipgen script - it's not
going to work (AFAIK) if you specify a drive letter as the input. It 
must be a folder. The script operates recursively, and folders and

Oops - no - you and Jörg are quite right, that script *does* work fine 
on drive roots or folders. One of my playlist building scripts does not,
however, and I confused the two. Mea culpa. =)

I know you guys are hard working at everything you do at Rockbox
development, but one thing could be improved that stands out to me is
the
loud click when you press next.  Well, it may not be loud on headphones,
but
when using a car adaptor or plugged into an amplified stereo, it is
quite
loud.  This used to be an issue to me with play and stop before the fade
out
was released, but the fade eliminated the problem.  How do we feel about
perhaps a slightly faster fadeout (half or even a fourth of the
stop/pause
fadeout length) to get rid of the click?

Erm, what click? Is this a 'feature' of some models, but not others?

Hi James,
I guess with 2.2 the STOP command via remote is only working in file
browse
mode, but not while playing a song (try to remote stop playing a song).
I mentioned that bug (remote STOP not working in WPS) and Linus did a
fix
first published in daily build 23.04.04, means all newer daily builds
should
contain that bugfix too.
For your reference, here there is a link to the mail archive:
http://rockbox.haxx.se/mail/archive/rockbox-archive-2004-03/0942.shtml

Hi,
first of all I would like to point out that this talking dir feature is
really great. I'm using my AJB in the car and it was sometimes difficult
to
read the display when the sun was shining on it. I have the talking dirs
now
working and it is also a great step ahead in security, because you don't
need to take your eyes off the road while cruising aroudn with 180km/h
(in
Germany hihi ;-)))
I found some behaviour, that could be improved:
I have only the talking directories enabled.
I'm browsing around with the keys pretty fast.
When a .dirname is played and I'm pressing the +/- keys, the current
.dirname is aborted and the next one begins to play.
So far so good.
Try this with some fast key presses and it sounds a little bit confused.
Maybe it would be a solution to bring in a user configurable delay into
the
menu, that delays playing of the next .dirname when the previous one was
aborted. Means that would create a little pause between them.
I was thinking in user configurable delay, because I suppose that some
users
don't like it the way I purposed. In this case it would be only a matter
of
configuration.
Any opinions ?
Greetings
Matthias

Uuuuh, I've forgotten one thing.
That bug mentioned below, apears only with the AJB Studio's as far as I
know.

It works now.  Thank you all for your help.
This video is really cool.

I have the JBR V2, and like a few others noticed that when you shut the
power off--it pauses and powers down.  However, it does not power on
when power is restored.
This is not completely true though, the last few times I've turned on my
ignition it did in fact power on and start playing again.  Sometimes it
does not power on though and I have to do it manually.
Maybe it has something to do with how soon you start your car after
turning the ignition on?  I have to try it quickly and with a pause.  So
there is a resume feature in it already, but it doesn't always work.
