My experience is that the player will play NLS books, unprotected mp3 files and unprotected windows media files.
I was told, and it works for me, to create two folders in the root of the cartridge or presumably a flash drive. One folder should be named "$DTB," without the quotes, and the other should be named "audio+podcasts," without the quotes. Note the plus sign in the audio+podcasts folder name. Put daisy books in the $DTB folder and everything else in the audio+podcasts folder. It works, I guarantee it!

The player will not read a drive with other file formats on it. the comment above is incorrect. the flash drive I have currently has both bard and mp3 books and it has no problems playing them. It does work better once i created the "audio+podcasts" folder. ----- Original Message ----- From: "DJ DOCTOR P" <[email protected]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

Either she wasn't very clear with me on this, or she was just plane incorrect about it. What she said was, the NLS player won't play any other files. Don't take my word for it, se for yourself and tell me if I'm correct about this or not. I emailed her back and told her that other blind people myself included, have tested this player. It can play MP3 and WAV files. My best regards.
