Hi Rick: You keep a balance of funds in your account with the service. As you download material you've selected, those funds are charged against your balance. There is a one-time charge of $10 to set up credit card payments with the service. Then I added $15 to my account. I've downloaded a few things since then, but with each album costing around $1, I still haven't exhausted my balance. Of course, that can be checked on the site any time. Hope this helps.

One question - do you pay a monthly charge plus the the songs you download, or just for the tunes you download>?

For that reason, you will need a modicum of sighted assistance to do the joining process. Once that is done, you can dismiss any need for vision being required. This service does not always have everything I want, but I have been happy with the material I've bought through it, and their prices are reasonable enough. The dearest thing I've bought was a live concert of 22 tracks for $2.71. You can search their catalogue without signing up, so feel free to check it out and easily determine if they have what you want before joining. Hope this helps.

But lets see what others have to say. If you have limited space on your computer hard drive, there might not be enough space left for the swapping that happens when the transfer software compresses the daisy book for transfer to the bookport if you are increasing the speed.

I have downloaded the latest firmware and software updates at the prompting of the bookport transfer software. I have a books folder and I transferred 6 daisy books without incident. I also put a few etext books on and then read some daisy books and deleted them. Now, when I try to add more daisy books, I get a prompt that says .mp3 disk is full. When I check in My Computer in the properties, I have more than 2 gigs of space left on my flash card. Is the only solution to reformat the card and retransfer? Do I need to not delete files after I have read them? Betty Nobel
