Walt:

I'm certainly not trying to get around copyright laws, or anything of the sort. Should I learn that putting the books into another format is illegal, I'll immediately stop.

The advantage to converting NLS tapes for transfer to the Book Port is that of compression. I happen to use APH's Handi-Cassette recorder, which offers some flexibility in that regard, but BP Transfer offers more. Also, the Book Port is even more portable than the small recorder.

I appreciate your concern about whether it's OK to copy. If anyone has more information on that, please pass it along.

Dale

What am I missing abut this general issue? In order to convert an NLS tape
to MP3, it would have to be played in real time, anyway, to convert it, so
why not just listen to it then?

Besides, there very well may be legal issues, even in copying for your own
use. There most certainly are legal issues if you distribute such a file to
anyone, even if they're entitled to use NLS materials and even if you give
them the file for free.

Nolan:

A good audio description of this process with demonstration would also
make a great piece for Blind Cool Tech podcast.

Actually, that was Nolan, who has not yet posted any tutorial on this
as he
was waiting on the list moderator's okay, which was given.

So now the ball is in Nolan's court.

Bring it on, Nolan...when you can; no pressure, <smile>!

About a week ago someone posted steps for making audio files of NLS
tapes
to send to the Book Port. May I get a resend on that? And, what's the

approximate size of the file of one side of a cassette?

Thank you.
