Trouble, no, you have this wrong. The cable is not proprietary because the connections are standard.

John, Wow! Thanks for the info. I had no idea you could plug a USB cable into the cartridge. I may buy a cartridge some day, depending on the price and amount of memory. Ill agree with one problem with the new digital player and that is the thumb drive is located on the side where it is very vulnerable to being broken off. Other than that, I love the player.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] FYI - Source for NLS cartridge cable
The cartridge I saw only fit the players. If there are cables for it they are proprietary to the unit. At 06:00 PM 2/5/2010, you wrote: Tom, yep, that's a cartridge. Just treat them like a thumb drive. You will need a cable to go with them. The cable is a standard cable so, unlike the cartridges, the cable can be purchased from an electronics outlet. earlier, Tom Hodges, wrote: John, how do you download to cartridges on a computer? By cartridges, do you mean the thing that plugs into the end of the player, by the handle? It is about the size of a thick credit card with a hole in the end?

For me, they are much easier to use and I don't have to worry about a thumb drive sticking out of the side of the player. When 2 gig cartridges become available, I may buy those. It is all a matter of personal choice. The drives are cheaper but the cartridges are more convenient. earlier, Tom Hodges, wrote: Never heard them called Thumb drives Ive heard them called memory sticks. Sams Club also sells them in a package of about five or six. Cant remember the price. I down load the book from the website onto my computer, then down load that to the memory stick in my USB port, then unplug the memory stick from the computer and plug it into the digital players USB port, on the right side of the player. I never use the cartridge that can be mailed to you, since the books can be downloaded. Those cartridges are for those without a computer. Theyre mailed out just like the cassette tapes were mailed. Then, you have to mailed them back when you are finished with them. You cant use them to re cord anything.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] FYI - Source for NLS cartridge cable
Tom, these are not called cartridges but rather, thumb drives, jump drives or other names. If you call them cartridges, people may think you are talking about the NLS cartridges, made for the players. One cannot get the NLS cartridges at Staples but there are other sources for them. Look on: www.bardtalk.com to keep up with that sort of thing and other stuff. earlier, Tom Hodges, wrote: Yes, you can get the cartridges, about as big as the end of your little finger and they fit into the usb port on the side of the player.

Ron, some of those flash drives work for the players and some don't. Drives with U3 software on them or drives with usage meters won't work unless the U3 software is removed via a removal tool from the manufacturer. earlier, Ron Yearns, wrote: Are you talking what we call thumb drives or zip drives?
