The cartridges come from the American Printing House for the Blind and I believe they're about $12.75. I recommend getting the cable meant to be used for these cartridges from the same place because I think they're less expensive there. I also recommend that you go to http://bardtalk.com and sign up on that e-mail list as I just did. On that list, specifically dedicated to NLS digital talking book machines, you will have access to all sorts of information.

But ok, I understand that you can put NLS books on them. But how about music, can you put music files on those cartridges to as well? It looks like it will work on any computer using the USB interface, but how do you plug those cartridges in to your computer so you can put files on them?
