For some reason, voice UI only works with builds at end of March. Every
time I load a later build, no voicing of files, folders, or menus
occurs. Just an FYI; using a 30-gig Ipod video.
I was hoping to try out the new fixes completed by Brandon, but no go.

Good, I'll improve the playback stopped response time soon.

Not sure I follow this. This crash will eventually be looked into.
