[Nfb-krafters-korner] Help with BARD please

[Blindhands at aol.com]

I wasn't going to use the MP3 player to play the BARD Books.  I was  hoping 
to use it as a thumb drive, but don't worry I did not use it.    I found 
the thumb drive, but it is 16 gigs large.

An MP3  player is digitially compatable and can not be used, please do not
try it,  it will only confuse you more.

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.
