I suggest using freeware directory player 1by1 instead (http://mpesch3.de1.cc/1by1.html), it can even shuffle, repeat, even add any amount of space between tracks (try this with converted stuff from the expanded section) Yv

I've tried to work while listening a few times, and I can't *not* listen to the podcast, unlike music which can just go on in the background. Though maybe translating Chinese while people are in your ears speaking Chinese is not something one should attempt in the first place! Congrats on the great press! :) I envy Mr. Burton’s ability to listen to CPod while doing something else.
