Ifp-999 Scan Speed & Bookmark

[drewzer]

How fast can you scan through a song, or a long book? Pretty fast? 8x 16x?
I don't know why I-River refyuses to support Audible.com format...

Or does the 999 have a bookmark feature so you can save your position in a long file?

Thanks,

Drew

The FF/RW scan speed is 1X, 2X, 4X, 6X (you choose 1 from the settings).
All iRiver iFP products currently do not support Audible.com format.
The 999, I believe, has a resume feature (for the last song) but not a bookmarking feature.

I know this thread is almost a year old but I thought I'd mention that there is a workaround for the Audible problem. Use Audible's software to burn the book onto CD (you may need several), then use Windows Media Player to rip the files back to your PC. You can save the resulting MP3 files to your player like any others.
I know this involves some extra steps but if you download a book you'll want to put it on CD anyway. They can take up a lok of hard drive space and you could loose them if the drive crashes.
