Anyone here with a Zen Vision M?

I bought a Vision M a couple of weeks ago, I like the unit but I can't figure out how to quickly fast foward through long clips. I listen to a lot of talk radio and the clips are usually 3-4 hours in length, but the "seek to" function on the Zen advances very slowly. Does anyone know how to quickly advance through long tracks?

I don't know, but you could find a program that splits MP3s and split the files up into smaller segments.

I guess that's an option, I might just end up taking the player back to BB. The darn thing froze up on me and I've only used it 3 times since I bought it.

I know if you hold it down it can go pretty fast but on a 3-4 hour file it probably would be really slow. I would take Mugs advice and split it up into tinier files. You can use Audacity to do it if you want and it is open source

not yet, I'm having second thoughts on keeping it anyway. I should have got something a lot smaller.
