No, you are limited in what type of devices can play BARD books.

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.
