[nabs-l] learning ally questions

[Marsha Drenth]

I was able to get the book into my bookshelf, but I never found a link to
download it. The new download manager is not accessible either. When its in
the bookshelf, there will be a cambo box to choose the file type, either
between daisy or WMA. If I didn't need the book like in two weeks I would
get the CD version, but of course that presents a whole new set of
challenages. 

If anyone finds out how to download the stupid books, let me know. Sorry I
can't answer more of your questions.

Hi all,
So I was trying this out. I wanted to see about downloading books. When I
logged in, I realized things are so different now. Before you logged in,
searched for a book, and selected your prefered format: DT which was a cd
version, DL or WMA format. Then you checked out if you did not want to add
more to the shopping cart. Currently, Now when I search for a book, no
options like that exist. Instead of  ordering it there and they used to send
you a link to download books, now it's the bookshelf.
It said

Downloadable copies of the titles listed are available by simply selecting
the option: "Add to Bookshelf".

For a CD version of your chosen titles, proceed to check out by selecting
the option: "Order CD Now".



Okay, so no more emailed links. Question though.

When you click add to bookshelf, its there, but in what format.

When I went to bookshelf after downloading the manager, I just saw the title
of the book.



Questions.

1. it says 

Choose the books you want to hear and then select Download & Listen.

The enhanced BookShelf has been specially designed for compatibility with
our new Learning Ally Audiobook Manager.

So do they put the book in the manager automatically?

2.  Can you still use WMA format and use windows media player?

3. I guess the actual download link is inaccessible. Once you download it,
is it in one big file or parts?

4. Will I need to unzip the file?



I'm very confused about their new setup. It appears that once you click add
to bookshelf, books are in that bookshelf. But no confirmation is given or
anything like that to let you know you successfully searched and added that
book.



Then I have no clue how to actually listen to the book. Do you have to be
online to listen? 



Ashley
