Pam, Regarding the issue of rewinding with a CF card, do you mean that when you press and hold the rewind key you will hear that reverse screeching sound? I thought it would skip in the same way audio skips when tapping the arrow keys to forward or rewind when using Winamp. I have 1 more question. Because I would like to read my daisy titles in the most stable manner, and if like me you also use a Toshiba pc card, do you find that the CF card is more stable? Thanks.
