Hello Kevin,
I have a San Disc 4 GB USB flash drive.
I created a folder that's called, audio+podcast.
I put mostly MP3 files in that folder.
But when I plug that flash drive in to the player, it plays one
of the audio
files for a wile.
But then, it stops and gives me a cartridge error message.
But when I plug my wife's MP3 player in to it, the machine plays
the files
off of it without any problems.
My question is, why does it act like that with my Sand Disc USB
flash drive
and not my wife's MP3 player?
John.

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.
