Yes, I¡¯m sure of it. I don¡¯t think that player is going to be clever enough to do that, at that price.

No, Chapter support is just a posh way of saying it can jump to the next file.

No, it has no support for podcasts. In order to get the chapters of a

Thanks for the clarification Claire.? I should have known the "chapter" feature as I interpreted it was too good to be true!

Re: milestone ace and book shelves
Hi Adrian,
That's weird, if I select External Memory on mine, I only seem to get books that are on my external memory.
I'll do further testing though and come back on this.

Re: Hinns Daisy/Media SensePlayer
Hi David,
While it is true that there are a few bugs with the Stream 3, I wouldn't say "crammed with bugs". There are a few rough edges, and we're working on smoothing them out.
