		<title>MP3 Trigger Firmware Version 2.40 Beta</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Updated 5/31/2011 There have been many good suggestions for improvements and features over the past year. One reason they haven&#8217;t been incorporated is simply that I&#8217;ve been extremely busy with other work. The second reason is that each time I add a new feature or improve performance, I&#8217;ve had to make multiple version for different [...]]]></description>

		<title>A New MP3 Trigger Filename Proposal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m considering changing the filenaming conventions for the MP3 Trigger. Currently, the triggers require very restrictive 8.3 filenames in the form of &#8220;TRACKnnn.MP3&#8243;. The navigation switch and serial protocol will play all of the MP3 files on the card, regardless of names or namelengths, using simple directory offset index &#8211; the nth MP3 file in [...]]]></description>

He was right, and I dug into it to discover that the overhead of scanning the additional trigger inputs was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  Fixes, Shorter Looping Gaps and New Features: For some time I&#8217;ve been getting reports of users having issues with certain MP3 files, involving some kind of problem when the track finished &#8211; either hanging the MP3 Trigger or producing chirping or squeaking sounds.
