Slow fast forward speed on A3000

[andrew1968]

Hi there,

I'm a new owner of an nw-a3000, and I've just come across this forum, so I was wondering if someone could answer a question for me?

I've managed to transfer some MP3s onto the player (after a couple of days of messing around ), and I've put some podcasts onto it to listen to on the way to work.

But, the fast forward speed seems to be very slow - if I'm listening to a 40 minute podcast, and I want to come back to it later to finish listening, it'll take me ages to fast forward back to where I was up to originally.

Does anyone know if there is a faster way to skip through tracks?

I've thought of using bookmarks, but that only seems to bookmark the track, not where you are within the track.

Thanks for any help!

Andrew

Very easy:

First pause the track pushing the "play" button, and then push backward or foward. The speed is now extremely fast. Then push play again and VOILA!

Excellent - that's great, thanks very much

Yeah this has been the way it's always been with Sony products way back to Discmans back in the day. Pause + FFW/RWD is much faster than standard FFW/RWD.

Thanks too, I forgot you could do that, I can do it on my minidisc player as well.
