DIGITAL TALKING BOOK PLAYER QUESTION
Hello List members, I just received a new digital talking book player in the mail. I have a few questions about it. For starters, this machine can play files from a USB flash drive. What kind of format will those files need to be in an order for this machine to play them? I haven't tried this yet, but can this thing play in stereo? It has a monaural speaker built in to it. But I'm asking about its headphone jack. I have seen some digital playback equipment that had mono speakers built in to them before. But when you plug a pare of headphones in to them, the sound came out in stereo. Is this digital talking book player one of those machines that can do this? Thinks in advance. My best regards. John.

They use an encrypted format for the books. The headphone jack is stereo.

RE: DIGITAL TALKING BOOK PLAYER QUESTION
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. Kevin Minor kmi...@windstream.net To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

I am currently listening on the nls unit a mp3 book that is not nls formatted and it can qet quirky as it never seems to play the entire grouping of files but rather, goes through about 2 thirds the files. Not sure why this is but i end up having to delete the earlier chapters and the darn thing works! Not sure about stereo, havent check that out.

I have a few questions about it. For starters, this machine can play files from a USB flash drive. What kind of format will those files need to be in an order for this machine to play them? I haven't tried this yet, but can this thing play in stereo? It has a monaural speaker built in to it. But I'm asking about its headphone jack. I have seen some digital playback equipment that had mono speakers built in to them before. But when you plug a pare of headphones in to them, the sound came out in stereo. Is this digital talking book player one of those machines that can do this? Thinks in advance. My best regards. John. PS. Where is a good website to download digital talking books?

Okay well my mistake then, I'm talking about the Plextalk Pocket so I got the model number wrong.

Re: Bookpo9rt Plus and Plextalk PTR2
OK, so the Plextalk Pocket and the new Bookport Plus feel the same when held in the hand? Is that what they mean about the same hardware, or do they mean the same pressable keys? I don't quite understand. Thanks a lot. Matthew To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

Getting sound out of You Tube
Hello all. Using Win/Vista with a Real Tech sound card and Jaws 11. I am using speakers as the output device and a desktop microphone. I have the newest versions of JAVA and Flash as of 2 days ago. If I get a URL for You Tube and it to be music played upon entering, there is no sound at all. Where may I be having a incorrect setting? Went to Google for help, got some tips, but still no help. Thoughts? If so, please do so off list cause this might not be of interest for many. Thanks, Morey Worthington To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
