Actually, that site (allofmp3.com) isn't legal at all. The only reason they 
get away with it is that they're located in Russia and from what I've heard, 
it's just one small part of the Russian crime empire that's grown up in the 
past fifteen years or so. Infringement of copyright by various groups and 
organizations in Russia is a major item on the table between the Russian 
government and western governments in general and with Russia desperately 
wanting to be admitted to the World Trade Organization, the days of the 
existence of the site are very definitely numbered.

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.

Cheers,
Dave

  Dave-



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

  Hi Rick and list:



  A legal service that provides files that can be readily transferred to the 
book port is www.allofmp3.com



  I'm afraid they use visual verification in their signup process and offer 
no work around option. 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.



  Cheers,

  Dave

    Hello Betty:



    It might be possible that your problem is not the bookport itself.  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.

      Hello all.  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?
