RE: victor reader stream question
Hi The reason why they won't repair the stream in this case is because the new units are as dear as replacing the circuit boards.

RE: victor reader stream question
Hello Joe. Perhaps the USB port on your stream has failed. You could purchase a card reader and download your books onto your storage card. Otherwise, you may have to send your stream in for repair or even purchase a new one depending on the repair costs. I'm sorry that this has happened to you. Unfortunately, these devices don't last indefinitely. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Joe Bollard Sent: Tuesday, September 24, 2013 9:35 AM To: pc- audio Subject: victor reader stream question hello friends, i have never had any problems with my victor reader stream which i've had for over three years and use regularly to read my audio books, but the day before yesterday i tried plugging it in to my laptop, and the laptop couldn't find it, i changed USB cables, but still no joy i tried yet another USB cable, without success, it still wasn't recognising the victor reader stream, in desperation i switched to my desktop, still no luck, i tried taking the battery out and putting it in again, zilch, the reader stream is fully charged, i have lotsof space left on it, with only one book waiting to be read, i'm totally perplexed, i'm an avid reader, and dread the thought of being without my reader, can anyone suggest something that will solve this problem for me, any help will be really appreciated, god bless, take care, travel safely, joe bollard, the republic of ireland.

RE: victor reader stream question
I had a similar problem with my first generation Stream. I sent it back to Humanware, as with yours, it was out of warranty. They said it was a problem with the motherboard/circuit board. They were unwilling to attempt to fix it. They said I could either transfer items using an external card reader or buy a new unit. Not exactly the best customer service. I hope you've got a different problem, but I've seen reports of similar failures on many of these lists. Good luck. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Joe Bollard Sent: Tuesday, September 24, 2013 9:35 AM To: pc- audio Subject: victor reader stream question hello friends, i have never had any problems with my victor reader stream which i've had for over three years and use regularly to read my audio books, but the day before yesterday i tried plugging it in to my laptop, and the laptop couldn't find it, i changed USB cables, but still no joy i tried yet another USB cable, without success, it still wasn't recognising the victor reader stream, in desperation i switched to my desktop, still no luck, i tried taking the battery out and putting it in again, zilch, the reader stream is fully charged, i have lotsof space left on it, with only one book waiting to be read, i'm totally perplexed, i'm an avid reader, and dread the thought of being without my reader, can anyone suggest something that will solve this problem for me, any help will be really appreciated, god bless, take care, travel safely, joe bollard, the republic of ireland.

By the way Joe, Have you checked the USB cable? the problem may be there.

Re: victor reader stream question
Hi Joe, You can get a card reader from Radio Shack for ten dollars or so. I have a first generation stream and never use the USB port to connect it. It is so much faster to transfer files using a card reader. This would be a very inexpensive way to fix your problem.

You need to have purchased and installed an optional softpack from Humanware. Once you've done that, you may select the recording format. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of armando maldonado Sent: Friday, July 22, 2011 3:33 PM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Subject: Victor reader stream question Hello, I was wondering if anyone on the list owns or uses a victor reader stream?

RE: Victor reader stream question
I believe the Soft Pack is priced at about $40. However, it is possible to convert files to MP3 through a more convoluted process. Without the Soft Pack, all note files will be recorded in that .GP format. With the free HumanWare Companion software, it is easy to convert .GP files to .WAV files. From there, you can use GoldWave or another application to convert to MP3. As I said, convoluted. Me, I'm happy to convert from .GP to .WAV, so the HumanWare Companion is a boon. You need the latest version of that software. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Blackwell, Clifford Sent: Friday, July 22, 2011 4:48 PM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Subject: RE: Victor reader stream question You need to have purchased and installed an optional softpack from Humanware.

Re: Victor reader stream question
dbpoweramp music converter, 8 gb of ram and a quadcore. Oh and dbpoweramps batch convert function if you have a bunch and they're done in minutes. Alright there are free ones and I think there is a free version of dbpoweramp, I bought a license since I use it on a daily basis.
