You don't use the card, you go out to the sites to hear the shows. Your card isn't involved at all.

Oo, sounds really promising to me! Looks like a 16 gig card may not be enough, but we're talking about things you can listen to on the net, right?

Well, I know that The Listen Factor folks will help you if you want help to get their stuff on there. They show lots of stuff you'd probably like, and they've got drama, movies, sitcoms, old radio, lots of stuff.

Hmmm, wish I'd known. I saw the sale price at which Laz Mesa was selling it and decided to save $15.00. I just might put Blindy TV on it. It's in my favorites and I almost never watch it. I'll be looking forward to being able to download BARD books directly onto this Victor Stream. But, o-oh, I hope I've got my wy-fi number on my cell phone because I lost the sheet of braille paper it was on.

If you buy it from Roger Behm, he puts some stations on it for you like Beatles and listen factor and Blindie Tv. Can't think of what else, but he does that, and is wonderful to deal with.

Would you believe, I was gonna order it today, even deposited money my brother gave me so I could spend the $349 for the stream and have enough money to make it through the rest of the month, but when I got home, I took a nap. Oops, it better get ordered tomorrow or else I lose $16.00 as the sale ends tomorrow. Lately I've been forgetting things, like mailing a talking book back to the Arizona State Library though I knew my mom and I were going right by a mail box yesterday. Then I forgot to give my brother his lasagna dish and jam jar back to him. Fortunately, he remembered. Don't know what's going on or not going on with my head.

Linda, when you boot up your phone, that's when you put in the numbers. After that, if the screen locks and you do have fingerprint ID up and running, all you need do is put your finger in, and it will unlock the screen.

As for the second generation Stream, it's so great! Downloading books is even easier than using the old software. You have a couple of ways of doing it, and everyone has their favorite, I guess, but it's totally easy. If you want help, call us.

Oh, really? I had no earthly idea! I thought, and I think my phone has said on occasion, that for me to use touch ID, I must put in my six-digit pass code. I think I’m reaching senility or something similar, a technological overload. I am seeming to become really overwhelmed by technology. I don’t put music on my I-Phone, finding it much, much easier to put it on my Sanza Clip MP3 player from talkingmp3players.com, from whom I’m also going to be purchasing a new Victor Stream. Right now, I’m having to use my old Victor Stream to download books from BARD using my Book Port software. It’s crazy, but it does work, but I’d just like to update the Victor Stream although my old one still works perfectly well. I suspect music sounds a whole lot better on the second-generation one. Thankfully, Laz Mesa does a great tutorial with this machine. As to Drop Box, I’ll hopefully listen to the three-part tutorial in the next couple of days, pain notwithstanding.

Hi Linda. I just got in at the middle of this thread so forgive me if I missed something. However. The whole purpose of touch ID is to prevent you from having to put in your passcode every time you unlock your phone. That's the beauty of touch ID.

I’m finding I’m not using the I-Phone as much as I thought I would. I really miss the ease of just being able to make phone calls, and now that I’ve got the finger print thing and I have to put a six-digit code into my I-Phone any time I unlock it, it’s just getting to be too slow and tedious. I’m not one who plays with games much, so I haven’t downloaded anything like that. Thanks, though, for your suggestion.

Linda, to go from one contact to another, try swiping from left to right instead of going up and down. I think with a little practice and a few more fun apps, you'll never want to go back, but that's just my opinion. :)

Hi All,
I was talking to my friend Gina about this. Like me, she has an I-Phone 5, but
I don't think she's upgraded to I-OS 9 point anything. I've updated to 9.3, and
I've noticed when I try to move through my contacts list, even though I'm using
the familiar page-up gesture, I'm getting a beep sound and the word "refreshing"
a lot, and the page isn't moving up. Seems to me that as they're updating, some
of the more basic functions are becoming more difficult to do, and I don't know
why this has to be that way.  I'm so annoyed that when my contract runs out in
August, I'm thinking about going back to a regular flip phone as I've never used
Blind Square, and only occasionally use the KNFB Reader and money talker. I've
gotten another manual bill readingmachine which is in my purse at all times.
