Victor Reader Stream is one option.  I still need to set mine up to do this.

Can you buy a commercial player for the books from bard? I have 2 cassette 
book players in addition to the one the library sent me. But I don't have 
any way to play a book downloaded from the bard site except on the player 
they sent me.

I would think that the newer braille notetakers will be able to play books 
from bard. I own a Pac Mate and it can recognize a book downloaded from bard

but it cannot play it.
