I havent tried a flash drive with my booksense yet, but I do know that
the booksense is only designed to recognize its predefined folders:
audio books, music, daisy, and so on. I've noticed that these folders
aren't created on a new SD card until I insert it into the booksense
for the first time and press and hold the 0 key to switch to the SD
card. Then the booksense creates the default folders that it needs and
I can hook it up to my computer and transfer files to the SD card. So I
have two ideas regarding the USB flash drive:
1. plug it in to the booksense and press and hold the 0 key and see if
it cycles to the USB flash drive and shows the default booksense folders.
2. Or plug your USB flash drive into your computer and manually create
the folders, use your booksense flash disk as a model to know which
folders to create.
Another possibility is that the booksense needs a reset. The first time
I switched SD cards, my booksense wouldn't recognize the new card, nor
would it recognize the one I normally use until I reset the unit by
removing and reinserting the battery. Since then (almost two weeks ago)
it has had no problems recognizing SD cards when I switch them out nor
has it needed another reset.
Hope this helps.

hi,
I am unable to figure out how to get a booksense standard to recognize
a usb flashdrive. It says in the manual that it will automatically
recognize it, but it will not recognize it. What am I doing wrong?
