Playing Music Files; Playing Text Files - Bones Milestone 212 Manual

Milestone 212 jumps to the first file or subfolder within "Music". In our case it finds the
folder "Country". Press "Right arrow" to jump to the folder "Oldies". Enter it with the "Mode"
button. Milestone 212 opens the first music track. The files are sorted alphabetically.
Finally, press "Right arrow" until you reach the track of Elvis Presley.
If you want to go up again to the highest folder level, the root directory of the SD memory
card, press "Rec" twice.
Hint: When you have a folder with a large amount of files, you have the possibility to jump
to the last or the first file within this folder. Therefore push and hold "Right arrow" and in
addition press "Play" to reach the last file or push an hold "Left arrow" and in addition
"Play" to jump to the first file.
5.1.2.1. Voice labeling of folders
Instead of reading the name of a folder with Milestone's text to speech function, you can
create a custom voice label for that folder on Milestone 212. To start recording a folder
name enter the appropriate folder with "Mode". Push and hold "Rec" and after a click hold
down "Mode" as well. Milestone says "folder", afterwards speak the new voice label. The
recording will be ended when you release both buttons and you will hear the sound
sequence "high pitched-low pitched". Please note that very short recordings are rejected.
The new voice label is announced the next time you reach this folder. A recorded folder
name can be overwritten at any time by recording a new one.
Hint: Please be aware that you can delete recorded folder names with Milestone 212.
Erasing of a file is usually done by selecting a file and using the combination "Mode" and
"Play". The hidden folder name file can not be selected the usual way. Please re-record
the folder name first to activate the corresponding file and afterwards press the erase
combination "Mode" and "Play". In addition you can remove folder names on the SD card
via computer. Therefore delete the file "FOLDER.NAM" within the desired folder.

5.2. Playing music files

Select a music file. Therefore navigate to a file as described under "Navigation in Audio".
Music files automatically start playing if you select them. Press "Play" in the middle of the
keyboard to pause the music file. If you press "Play" again playback will continue. With the
arrow buttons you can jump from one file to another. If you keep the arrow buttons pressed
you can fast forward and rewind. Keep the "Right arrow" pressed and Milestone will fast-
forward after about one second of holding the button pressed. The speed of scrolling
increases the longer you are pressing the button. When you keep pressing "Left arrow"
Milestone will rewind with the same behavior. As soon as you stop holding the arrow
buttons normal playback continues.
5.3. Playing text files
When you select a text file, you hear the name of the file. By pushing "Play" you start the
reading of the file. Opening a DOC file for the first time may take some seconds to convert
the file. A ticking sound signalizes that process.
Text file playback is similar to music playback. You can jump to the next and previous file
with the arrow buttons and use pause function with "Play". If you push and hold an arrow
button during playback you can also kind of fast forward or rewind the text file. You can
hear clicks in periodic time intervals. With each click you jump one step in the file. How big
such a step is, you can select by pressing "Rec" or "Mode" during playback. You can
choose between "Screen" (which is around 25 lines), "Paragraph" or "Sentence".
