[Dtb-talk] issues with using victor stream

[Fred Wurtzel]

Hello,

No, there has not been any improvement.  You are right, it is complicated,
around 50 steps, as i wrote them out for a friend who I was trying to teach.
I think this process needs more automation.  

The Victor Stream is quite a nice device, though the Book Port was much
easier to use.  I love the downloaded books.  There are a number of people
who will never be able to use the download site with Victor Reader as they
are presently configured to work.  Fortunately, the Library system is very
simple, even simpler than cassettes.

Good luck.

Warm Regards,

Fred

Hi all, I had used my victor stream in the beginning, but have stopped for a

few months.  Only because I had such a hard time downloading and unzipping 
files, it was very complicated.  Has this since been easier to do. I use the

stream for other things, but to download books was a big headache even when 
I contacted humanware, it was still rediculous.
