[Electronics-talk] nls bard question

[Ashley Bramlett]

Tim and all,
Thanks for the instructions.
I asked my library how to unzip the files. I know how to copy and paste. 
They told me to simply copy and paste the unzipped version to my storage 
device.
I hope I understand how to  unzip now. Someone on here also explained that.
Thanks.
Ashley

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.
