Ginger, are you in the US? If so, you can get a free digital player. THen, you have choices: download books from nls and upload to a cartridge which you purchase from APH or Perkins. Or, order your books on cartridge from your local Talking Books center. THey will come on cartridges for use in the player. Also, books will continue to be available on cassettes to use on the former nls tape player. No one is being ciscriminated against. DUring this transition from tapes to digital cartridges, things may seem a bit confusing so we have to be patient. marilyn----- Original Message ----- From: "Ginger Roe" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, February 07, 2010 12:46 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] NLS compatible Software?
