If I can not find the stupid thumb drive that I have[it is one of these  
very small things], I will go out and get one at NBest NBuy tomorrow.

No, I  don't think your mp3 player will work. I can't explain why, but I
don't  think it has exactly what is necessary.

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.
