Greetings,

I need to correct my message from yesterday, below.  I said W M F rather than W 
M A.  Sound Taxi can convert any file that is playable with Windows Media 
Player to M P 3, including Unabridged / Overdrive Books.

Regards,

Don...

  Hi Andy,

  As you've already read, BookPort does not play W M F files.  However, they 
can be converted to M P 3 files by a program called Sound Taxi ( 
http://www.soundtaxi.info/ ).  Sound Taxi is a $15 program that can convert any 
file that Windows Media Player can play to M P 3, regardless of protection.  
You may also download a free trial to see if is suitable for use with your 
screen reader.

  Regards,

  Don...

    Hi, I have some books that are borrowed from the Unabridged library system. 
 It is managed with the OverDrive program and I can read them either with the 
overdrive program or Windows Media.  I guess that the extension is WMA.  Can 
the bookport except this?  Do I need to get a player that will play these 
types?  If that is the case, can someone suggest a very good player?  I need it 
to be blind friendly of course.  Also, I will need tons of room due to I am a 
audible book buff because of the BookPort.  I really love this bookport.  Andy.
