Hey,
 
I have an older model of an MP3 player that you can plug into a USB  port.  
Can I use that to download the files on and then put into the  player?
 
Do you think it will mess things up or it will act like a thumb  drive?
 
I am looking for my plain thumb drive now, but not having any luck so far  
finding it.

I  am not sure how to tell about your authorization, but I know about 
your  third question. I use a thumbdrive to download books from bard all 
the  time, when my cartrige is not with me or I can't find my cord. I 
don't see  why there should be a limit on size, but one warning about 
thumb drive.  Unlike the cartrige, the player likes to mess up sometimes 
especially if  you move it around. It says cartrige error, or for some 
reason sets you  back a few chapters, or just reads how many books and 
the battery again.  If you keep it still though, it's usually fine. It's 
just  picky.
