Susan sent me a post from a list she is on concerning NLS cartridges and flash drives. I'll paste the content here. Those of us who have been on this list for any length of time know that different media types might work with the NLS digital talking book machines. Those types and their level of success follow: NLS cartridges. These 1GB and 2GB cartridges were designed to work in the player and barring some technical problem with the particular cartridge should work reliably. I have seen no posts of problems with these cartridges in the players. However, they are the most expensive per gigabyte of storage space. USB thumb drives. Some of these work just fine with the DTBM and others do not. No definitive technical explanation has yet been given detailing what is required for these to work consistently or detailing what will cause them not to work. Thumb drives containing U3 software should be avoided as these have been reported to consistently cause problems with the DTBM. USB SD card readers. These are consistently said not to work with the DTBM although some have successfully used them. If the user already has one and wishes to try it with the DTBM, no harm should result in doing so and it may just work. I would not purchase an SD card reader and SD card just for the DTBM, however. For those commenting on media, please refrain from making absolute comments such as "SD card readers do not work with the DTBM." While this is generally the case, several have reported success with these devices and such comments result in the spreading of misinformation. All of this technology is still relatively new and due to the variety of tweaks that manufacturers use to gain a competitive advantage, the only real way to know if something works is to plug it into your player and try it. About all we can do is to remember the particular brand and model number and report to the list whether it worked or not. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Lynn I Sent: Thursday, February 11, 2010 9:00 AM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: O T Obtaining cartridges from APH to be used in NLS player. Hi Jim! I agree with you. I'm going to try a few flash drives I have here and see what happens. *smile* -- Blessings.

I tried to use a perfectly good 8 gb memory stick with my NLS player, and it didn't work. NLS is unable to give me a satisfactory reason why it doesn't work. In my not so humble opinion, NLS just needs to fix their code! You shouldn't need a special cartridge to use with that player. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lynn I" <lynnskyi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, February 11, 2010 8:00 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: O T Obtaining cartridges from APH to be used in NLS player. > Thanks Ann and Susan.
