	Wow, I'd love to get one of those toys, but I still have some
	questions which I'd be very grateful if you could answer:

	1 - How does it deal with directories? Does it have any
	    navigation mode? And how about files that have very long
	    names (I'm thinking of burning CDs with Linux, of course,
	    making the ISOs with mkisofs);
	2 - Does it play Variable Bit Rate MP3s?
	3 - What happens if it is told to play a file that is not an
	    MP3 (say, a .txt file that ended being included on my
	    ISO)?


	Thanks in advance, Roger...
