[Electronics-talk] nls bard question

[Timothy Emmons]

Hey, Ashley, I'm a reader adviser at the Library for the Blind here in Montgomery. I'll try to help as best as I can. The players only play Daisy and mp3 currently. There is no word as to if and when it will play other file types yet. As far as getting the books to the thumbdrive or cartridge after download, it's as simple as copying the book to the thumbdrive from the pc. Find the book after the download is complete, it's going to be the second occurence of the book, not the first. The first one will be the zipped folder that you don't want. The second one is the unzipped folder. It makes its own folder here after unzipping. Find the second time you see the title, by arrowing to it, or using the first letter of the book say, Db for digital book. Once you've found it, and have it highlighted don't hit enter, but just make sure you're sitting on it with your arrow keys, and do a control C Once you've done that go to your computer, and go to Removable disk whatever your computer calls it. Hit enter, and open the drive. Now, once it is open hit control V to paste the book, it will say copying so and so many items, and then it will show the list view. Once that is done the book is on the drive and if you pop that in your Nls player you should be good to go. If that doesn't work, let me know and I'll try to help more. Thanks again and talk to you soon.
