Hi,

Yep, I'll second that.  And it's going to get even better with version 1.2
of the VR Stream's software.  While you're playing MP3's, version 1.2 of the
Stream's software is going to have individual bass and treble controls so
you can tweak the EQ to your liking.  Version 1.2 will increase the playback
volume of all content through the Victor's little speaker.  Also, when you
adjust volume and tone, the beeps will be gone.  If you adjust the tone,
then leave the controls alone for a while, perhaps 15 to 30 seconds, the
Stream switches over to the volume control.  Oh, and one other thing:  when
you're in a music folder and moving from track to track while in play mode,
the names of the tracks won't be announced.  If you want to hear the track
names, you have to stop playback, then move around with the left and right
arrows. I haven't checked all of this stuff out; I just heard about it
during a web chat yesterday.

Tom
