Hi John. The player will play 3gp, wav and mp3 files. I'm thinking of those three right off, I may be forgetting one, though. These files need to be in a folder called audio+podcasts which is on the root of the drive. You can put subfolders under this to organize them. The player won't announce the folders, but when you're in bookshelf mode you'll be able to navigate to them.
As for playing files in stereo, this may or may not be true. I say this, because earlier firmware updates to the player didn't play files in stereo. You need to have version 2.1 or later of the firmware, and it will play files in stereo. To find out your player's version, with no media in it, press the sleep button ten times quickly until you hear the serial number being announced. Once this announcement starts, just wait, and you'll hear the version of your player's firmware announced. My player has version 2.1.3 of the firmware on it. To download NLS books for your player, you need to be signed up with the NLS site. To do this, go to https://nlsbard.loc.gov and click on the link on that page. Since you have an NLS player, you'll be able to get this service. It's nice to download books from the site, and anything you get on a cartridge from your library will be on the NLS site. By the way, you may want to call your local library and tell them you want digital books on cartridge sent to you. I had to do this for myself, and in fact I had to call them again to jolt things into action. I should be getting my first NLS book from my library any day now. There is an email list that is specificly set up for the NLS player. You can find out how to subscribe to it, as well as have some of your questions answered. Go to http://bardtalk.com If you have any other questions, let me know. Kevin Minor [email protected] To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [email protected]
