Hi Joyce,
I can only help with VR stream.
The memory card should be formatted with folders compateble for use with VR 
stream. You should see or hear those listed by using  your computer. If you 
do not have that done the remaider of this info is premature.
Audable down loads into the audable folder on your memory card; no book 
folder needs to be created
for me, audible books downloaded are found in documents, audible folder, in 
downloads. on my computer
while on the audible book  use copy to folder, alt e, then arrow up to copy 
to folder, press enter
use shift &tab to find folder listings, arrow to your memory card & correct 
folder
tab to copy press enter
now wait for it to finish
close all folders before removing the memory card.

For daisy books, a folder of the book needs to be created on the memory card 
in the vrtb folder (sometimes I just use  1 2 or 3 cause I'm lazy)
then use the copy to folder as with audible books
When I download daisy books from our site in Canada (CNIB) the book is in a 
zipped format & has to be extracted by using the application key, arrow down 
to extract to, press enter, tab to extract all, press enter
It is important to copy the unzipped book rather than the zipped book on to 
the memory card.
If this is all foreign to you, I am at  a loss of how to help you.
If you need to format your memory card let me know I may be able to send you 
the exact link.
Best of luck
I love love my books, listen to a few a week via VR stream.
Catherine

Ok, I am hanging my head in shame.  I never did go on BARD website  until
today.

Now I don't know what to do.

I called my library for the blind and they told me I had registered and
they told me my Victor Reader was there.

I did  this several years ago when I first got my Victor Reader  Stream.
Honestly, I do not remember if I ever went on the BARD   website nor if I
ever put in the id numbers for the player.

I did spend some time on the BARD website going thru the Q & A and over  on
Humanware in the support section for Victor Reader and I even called up my
local Blind library services and spoke to my librarian and her support
person.

Now here is my questions that no one could answer and they told me to read
all these files and I could not find the answers.


1. How can  I find out if my player is registered.  It doesn't  have any
information like the players that are registered to be used on my  account.
[Audible.com has a list for me].
2. Is my player that I got from NLS registered or do I have to do
something?
3. What do I need to do to use my NLS player?
4.  I downloaded a book on my computer.  I can find it.  [I  don't
understand why I couldn't download it to the Victor Reader stream], but do 
I need
to make a special folder on the Victor Reader memory card or which folder
should transfer it into?
5. Do you have to select all the files that downloaded [the entire book]
and copy and paste onto the flash card in Victor Reader?
6. Does anyone use a thumb drive to copy books and listen to on the NLS
Player?  I need to find the thumb drive and they told me it should not be 
any
larger then 8 gigs or was it megs?
