Re: Working with the Sandisk Sansa-E250
Here's something else you can try. In voiceBox, uncheck the button that says Remove .wav files after processing. Now when you run voiceBox, it'll leave the .wav files behind which are an intermediate step in creating the voice clips. You can use any media player on your system to play these .wav files and make sure there's nothing wrong with them. Timothy wrote: You should have it to spell, but it doesn't matter.

Re: Working with the Sandisk Sansa-E250
I'm not timothy, and I don't know how CDex came up in this thread, but CDex and VoiceBox are not the same thing. Voicebox will use the default voice you have set up in windows to create voice clips for your files and folders. If rockbox sees these voice clips it'll use them instead of numbering or spelling the files and folders on your Sansa. The way I usually use voiceBox is to copy the music I want to over to my Sansa and then I bring up voicebox. I set the target to the directory I have created on my Sansa and then I click the run VoiceBox button. this will recursively go through the files and folders on the Sansa creating voice clips for the files and folders which don't currently have voice clips. As timothy said, this program is very simple, straightforward and easy to use. If you download it, read the documentation and give it a try, I doubt you'll have any trouble with it.
