[il-talk] Talking Book Option

[Kelly Pierce]

The player plays NLS and RFB&d books as well as MP3 files. MP3 files
should be in a folder titles "audio+podcasts".

The thunb drive cannot have any software on it, such as a u3 drive or
a web browser.  If these items are on a USB drive, they need to be
removed for it to work with the NLS player.  Also, the thumb drives
that work with the NLS player cannot have usage meters.  I use a four
gigabyte Kingston Data Traveler 101 first generation series.  it works
great.

I advise all folks who actively read books to obtain an advanced
player.  This player allows someone to advance by chapter, page or
phrase.  All RFB&D books are indexed by chapter and page.  going to a
specific page is not possible with the basic player.
