[Electronics-Talk] Storage options for NLS audio player

[Arlene]

As David said there's a usb port on the right side of the new nls book 
player. If you look around for your usb drive you could probably find some 
that will stick out from the player less than others. Haven't looked around 
for a while but hopefully they can still be purchased. The best solution is 
what I do, I build cardrivges with a capacity that I want. Now you're 
probably thinking can he build me one, let's say 128 gigs or maybe larger. 
The answer is yes but you may not need it. I tested a 64 gig cardrigde with 
350 books on it on a new player, it will not work. It will work on the old 
player, however it's not very useful when it takes 5 minutes for the old 
player to index the dartridge. And from time to time the player will crash, 
so the number of books that you put on a usb drive or a cartridge could be 
important. Oh by the way, this new player has 30 gigs of storage that will 
hold quite a few books. That's all I know for now.
