Hi Rick & Septh: I just put my Kingston data traveler into the cartridge slot and it plays fine, use book shelf to go from one book to another. You have to play aroung with the thumb drive at first untill you find just where it slips into the plug, it is about the center of the cartridge opening, after a couple of times it is no problem.
