Hi Kim,
Thanks for all the information.
I have many ... a hundred or so ... Bookshare books on my Stream. I just didn't
know if I should create a separate folder for NLS DTB books.
I Went to the BARD site and downloaded two books, unzipped them, copied them to
my SD card and have read a little in my first NLS book. It sounds great.
My preferred media is Bookshare, but not everything is available here, so have
to read NLS books as a second option. It's sure nice not to have to move a
bulky cassette recorder around though. *smile*
Blessings.

Hi, Lynn, I am a fellow Stream user. First of all, when you put your SD card
into your Stream, if you look at your menu options (press the 7 key), one of
the choices you have is "format SD card". When I got my Stream, I was told to
connect it to my computer via the USB plug that came with it. I also had to
charge it via the other cord that I put in the surge protector. If you put your
SD card in your Stream, it will format your card for you with folders
designated VR audible, VR DTB, etc. I also should tell you the only thing
you'll hear when the Stream is on is "Stream connected". You can't listen to
your books if the USB plug is connected to your computer. (lesson 1-1/2). I
don't know if you plan to use the Humanware Companion or not. I use it to
transfer books from NLS from my Documents folder on the desktop to my
Stream.Some folks use it and I think if you don't want to do this, You can
unzip your downloaded files and do a cut-and-paste job and the file will be in
the proper folder. I suppose you can leave the file zipped and the Stream will
open the file for you. If you wish me to go into excruciating details filled
with anecdotes, I'd be happy to oblige you. Remember, I'm a non-technogeek-type
person so I can translate stuff into my own words and hopefully you will be
informed or at least have a good laugh. Regards, Kim.

Hello Everyone!
Sorry to ask my question here, but I know many of you are Stream users, and I
don't really want to subscribe to the Stream discussion list.
I just received my Stream user key for NLS books and have installed it on my
Stream.
My question is: When I download my first NLS book, will the Stream
automatically create an NLS folder on my Stream or do I have to create it
myself?
Thank you.
Blessings.
Lynn I
