I assume you're pasting the books onto the memory stick. Two things to try: 1. Open the View menu, select Sort By, and confirm that the first option, Name, is checked. 2. Press F5 to refresh the folder view. By default, pasted files and folders appear at the bottom of the directory in which they are pasted until the folder is reloaded or refreshed.

I will take a look at that but I did manage to find a local distributor for the iMic device, its about the size of a wrist watch and has a switchable input - Line-in or Mic - and a standard line-out/headphones socket, all controls for the iMic are controlled from the Windows Control Panel or the Sounds System Preferences on a Mac, price in Australian dollars is around $50, the perfect external sound device to have packed with your Macbook or other Notebook.

Yes, the sort of thing I could also use so I'll certainly check those out. On 1 Jun 2014, at 2:45 am, Joe Paton j...@vi-ability.demon.co.uk wrote: Hello dane. The audio interfaces I mentioned are portable of course, but not as small as the sound card of which you speak.

Yes. After pasting your audiobooks, press F5 in the folder. If this doesn't fix your problem, something else is the issue. -- James Scholes http://twitter.com/JamesScholes

Need help with Windows Media Player
Windows Media Player has been my default player for a long time on my Windows 7 laptop. IN the last week I noticed it no longer plays any MP3 files I press Enter on. Coincidentally, about the same time I have subscribed to the eMusic web service. WMP still comes up but the track is not played. I have tried forcing play with Ctrl-P and also going into the menus. I have also poked around all the menus but didn't see anything obvious that needed a setting to be changed. Any suggestions on how to further trouble shoot this? Thanks, Jeff

That's just a quirk of Windows. If you leave the window open, any new files go to the bottom of the list. Next time you open it, they will be in whichever order you select. Neither of which might be the files' physical position, but there's not much you can do about that (and usually won't need to). -- rgds LAurence ...Is it necessary to have a destination, or just a destiny? ---Taglines by Tagzilla (tagzilla.mozdev.org)

RE: Need help with Windows Media Player
Perhaps eMusic changed your file association defaults. I know iTunes loves to do that. If so, you need to associate the .mp3 file type back to WMP. Go to the start menu search field. Type file association. Even before you finish, this item will appear. Press enter on it. Wait several moments for all the fields to come up. After that you tab around for two fields. One is a button for the program type. Once pressed, you're presented with a list of programs. With any luck, WMP will appear in this list. If not, I believe Other is an option that will bring up more programs on your system. Then you tab to the long list of file types. Here, type very quickly .mp3 to get you close to the .mp3 listing. Going by memory, you now tab to OK. Perhaps there's an apply button to press first. I hope this gives you enough information to restore your preferred .mp3 file association. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Jeff Samco Sent: Saturday, May 31, 2014 5:31 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Need help with Windows Media Player Windows Media Player has been my default player for a long time on my Windows 7 laptop.
