According to our Stream dealer, that's exactly what you have to do.

Cindy, I haven't tried the unpack thing, but from what I've read, I don't
think that works. I think you have to unpack it first and then transfer the
four Daisy files to your stream.
Have a blessed day,

Thing I haven't quite figured out is how to download a book to the Stream
from Bookshare. I'm wondering if you download it to the puter and the to the
stream or if you can ownload it directly and then unpack it. Hmmm! I'll try
that tomorrow. LOL.

Hi all,

> download a book. That doesn't make sense, but so?
Hmmmmm, don't ya just love disinformation? That's information that is
almost true but not quite. Let me shed some light here. The Victor Reader
Stream, which I am going to call The Stream from now on, can indeed use the
cartridges which are going to be available from NLS by the end of next year.
They can also use SD cards. It is now possible to sign up for the beta test
of the NLS downloadable audio books, but there are several conditions.
1. You must understand that it is a beta test of the downloadable books,
and that you can download the books to your Stream by using an SD card and a
card reader to transfer the books. I haven't seen a Stream, but you may be
able to plug in one of those USB cables to it and download the books
directly to it.
2. You must be a registered user of the NLS Regional Library in your area,
and you must be an active user, either by getting cassettes or by getting a
monthly magazine. Use of Web Braille doesn't count.
3. You must have a Stream.
Once you've met all the conditions above, you can sign up at:
http://www.nlstalkingbooks.org/dtb
Fill out the application. NLS will check with your regional library and if
they know you, you'll get a user ID and Password.
The next step is to contact Humanware for the code you need to put into the
Stream so that it will read the NLS books. I'm not sure if Humanware
contacts you first or if you have to contact them. It may be in the form
that comes to you when you sign up.
I've been on the beta team for these audio books. We got adapted Victor
Reader Classic Pluses, and we've been testing the web site and the books for
almost a year now. Ghys, they're wonderful! There are some sixty-five
hundred books up there now. So, if you have a Stream, sign up, but only if
you meet all the conditions.
Ann P.
