If you're doint this on an nls machine, here is what you need to do.
Below is quoted from another list regarding nls machines.
files on the player using
the Bookshelf feature:
The bookshelf feature doesn't work in the same way on audio books as for
NLS or other Daisy books.
For players having the bookshelf feature (software version 2.1.0 or
later),
audio files (including collections that are books) need to be in a
folder
called audio+podcasts . The bookshelf feature will see this as one
book,
called "audio files". When you are in the "audio files" book, the
default
level of navigation when you first enter the book is by file. Pressing
the
Menu key cycles you through file, folder, phrase and bookmark levels,
then
back to file. So to move from one book to another, assuming you put
each
in its own folder within "audio+podcasts", you need to go to the folder
level. When navigating in Stop mode, you will hear file and folder
numbers. If you navigate in Play mode, you will hear the beginnings of
the
files and folders as you move from one to another. Rewind and Fast
Forward
treat the whole collection of audio files as a single book. Bookmarks
also
treat the whole assembly of audio files as one book. I'm not sure; you
may
lose your bookmarks in the audio "book" if you delete or insert files or
folders.
In the audio book mode, files and folders are played in the order of
their
filenames. Audio files can be in WAV, MP3 or unencrypted 3gp format.
WMA
is not supported.
I know that this sounds complicated and inconvenient. But our primary
design goal was to do digital talking books well, and the audio books
feature is of secondary importance to us. But I hope that this
information
clarifies a few things.

The tutorial on the CD is in Windows Media format to save space. The original
mp3 version is on the web site. Download this and extract it to a folder
inside your "Other Books" directory onto your NLS cartridge.

Hi, all. I would like to copy the Window-eyes tutorial to a blank digital
talking book cartridge.
I am trying to copy and paste the Window-eyes tutorial onto a blank NLS
cartridge from the CD and am not doing something right.
Here is how I am trying to copy and paste the Window-eyes tutorial from
the
CD. I insert the CD with or without Window-eyes running. I open the
computer icon on the desktop. I then right arrow to DVD R W and press
enter. I then find the play tutorial button. I tried control-c to copy
the
tutorial. I then closed to the desktop, opened the computer icon, right
arrowed to removable disc e which is the cartridge and pressed enter. I
opened the other books folder thinking that is perhaps where I should
place
the tutorial. I pressed control-v and nothing happened.
I am running Window-eyes 7.2 under Windows 7 on a Dell XPS-410 desktop.
If
I absolutely have to, I will find the tutorial on the GW web site,
downloaded to my c:\users folder into the downloads subfolder and go from
there. I was just trying to make things easier. How would I copy and
paste
the tutorial onto the blank cartridge from the CD? Should I place the
tutorial into the other books folder or the VRDTB folder? Thanks.
