Regarding Tunes

So, after putting the final mixes of the music on the readers. I've found that the Kindle has support for changing between mp3s on the fly. (pressing alt + f switches tracks, alt + spacebar pauses the song) However, the support for music beyond that is actually quite pathetic. There is no way to see what mp3s are on the kindle without plugging it into the computer, and putting the songs in the order you wish them to be listened to is quite a pain.

The Sony Reader (i'm working with a PRS-505) , while not allowing for a key-stroke to control the music, does give a display of what you are listening to, what other songs are in the storage, and allows you to switch at will. If you want to listen to music on the sony while reading, you have to start the mp3, then hurry back to the file that you are wanting to read. This causes a slight offset the audio in reference to the text, but all in all, an easier interface to work with.
