Cindy,
The p n y works well with the nls players, the only reason I am asking is I
am going to volunteer at a nursing home and want to put books and music on
it. Would you mind me asking a couple of questions about putting books and
mp3 files on them, if the list is not okay with the questions I can e-mail
you directly.
Kathy

It is just the brand name. If it actually stands for something, you would
have to find it in their history I guess. It is just like Kingston and
Sandisk. I'm pretty sure that I purchased mine from Newegg.com.
