hmm [indeed] I know where you are comming from here. I posted some weeks ago on a similar matter, roughly as follows:
Given the new status of Audiobooks and Podcasts in the fuze [compared to say the E series] I wonder why these genres have not got their own home option on the home menu ie to separate them wholly from Music [like Radio or Voice is] – just a thought…
Concerning Audiobooks – one update that I would very much appreciate would be the addition of an additional [tag?] page that would show an intial list of authors [or artists] …Having come from the E200v2 Sansa I have got used to selecting Audiobook from the music Genre option, and then (in my case I have a number of audiobook from the same author – Pullman, Rowling, Shakespeare etc.) selecting the author and then the desired audiobook. This has become quite a desirable feature…This would be similar to the Artist option now given under the general Music option.
Maybe technical problems with the auto-resume feature would prohibit this - but I hope this is not the case.
Also for Audiobooks {and indeed any Music tracks}, how about also introducing ‘wrap-around’ here.After passing from one chapter to the next on my old e200 if I wanted to rewind a bit to say the last 3 minutes of the last chapter[track] it was just a matter of pressing the rewind button and back you go.On the Fuze the rewind just stops at the beginning of the current track/chapter; to go back the last few minutes you have to go back to the beginning of the last chapter and fast-forward through the chapter, which is a trouble. It would be nice to also have the e200 rewind wrap-around option on the fuze. Similarly a scan-through-song [audio book] option would also be nice…
