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.
