Yes, you can download Digital Talking Books from BARD. You can copy them onto a blank cartridge which you could use in your Digital Talking Book Player or you can use a thumb drive and the USB port on the side of the player. If you're already a borrower in good standing with the NLS than you can apply for a BARD account at https://nlsbard.loc.gov/PA1A/ApplicationInstructions.html.
The BARD Talk web site at http://www.bardtalk.com/ is a good source to learn more about BARD. Your state library service is obviously another good source. -- Christopher [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Joanne Sent: Monday, April 19, 2010 5:34 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: what is bard and where to find it? I've heard of Bard but don't really know details. Is this a service where we can download talking books without having to have something like a Victor Stream? I would like to know about it and where to sign up, especially if it is simply a download of talking books service. Thanks. To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [email protected]
