Joanne, yep, you can put books on external drives.

Christopher, forgive me if this has already been
asked, but as opposed to a thumb drive, can I
use my external drive? Or must they first go
onto a flash or thumb drive? I may want to keep
some books that I really like, and wondered if
external hard drive storage can be done. I'm
still awaiting my player, so am not sure of the order of how this works.
Thanks.

books [was "saving and playingaudiobooks from my NLS player"]
Yes, this is how I have my music organized on
my booksense, my Rockbox player and my PC. On
my NLS cartridge, and on the USB memory stick I
used to use with my DTBM, I found I had to
place my MP3's in the Audio+Podcasts so I could
move from MP3 file to file on the DTBM. Also,
as I said in a previous note, your BARD books
can go in any directory, as long as you have
one book per directory. Looks like the advice I
got on using the $DTB folder came from a Victor
Stream user. Here's what it says on the BARD
Talk FAQ at http://www.bardtalk.com/faq.php:
12. Can I move a thumb drive with NLS books
between my third party reading device and my
DTB player and have it work with both?
Answer: Yes. The NLS dtbm will locate any NLS
books on your thumb drive regardless of the
folder names in which they are placed. If your third party reading
device requires the NLS books to be in a
certain folder, you should place them branching
off that folder if you plan to listen to them using both the dtbm
and your third party reader. For example, if
your third party reader is a Victor Reader
Stream, you would place the NLS books in subfolders below $VRDTB
on your thumb drive so you could listen to them
on both the NLS dtbm and your Stream. Remember
that bookmarks including your current reading position are
stored on the individual device and will not
transfer when you switch the media between reading devices.
13. Where do I put MP3 files I want to listen to on my DTB player?
Answer: Create a folder on your thumb drive or
a writable cartridge called: audio+podcasts.
Note, when creating this folder, use the + sign between audio
and podcasts. Additional folders may be created
under that main folder. Mp3 files will be
played sequentially based on their file names. the NLS dtbm will
not announce the names of the files because it
does not have a built in text to speech engine.

Hello Chris and Ike,
On one cartridge, I have all of my books in
indevidgeual folders that bares their names.
On another cartridge, I have all of my mp3
files in a subfolder that's called music but
in folders with the names of the types of music for each one of the folders.
I done this because, it's easier for me to get to them that way.
My best regards.
John.

Your MP3's should go into a folder called
Audio+Podcasts. Your BARD books can go
anywhere, but it's suggested you place them in a folder called $DTB.

Is there any special name for the folders
when separating bard books from mp3's? Ike

High Tom,
You are correct, you cannot play those NLS books on your computer.
Like I said in an earlier post, the people at the Bard Talk website has
those encrypted.
So no you can't convert those to a standard audio file.
But between you and me both, I wish we could.
My best regards.
John.

Hello Jim and list: Since I don't exactly know what a "pin drive" is..I
may not be fully qualified to answer this question..but if I were to
hazard a guess, I'm inclined to think that you can't as those files just
aren't meant to be played on the
computer! Of course I could be wrong, so
am anxious to see what other list members have to say on this one!
