Cindy, I haven't tried the unpack thing, but from what I've read, I don't
think that works. I think you have to unpack it first and then transfer the
four Daisy files to your stream.
Have a blessed day,
Nicki

Thing I haven't quite figured out is how to download a book to the Stream
from Bookshare. I'm wondering if you download it to the puter and the to the
stream or if you can ownload it directly and then unpack it. Hmmm! I'll try
that tomorrow. LOL.

Hi all,

> download a book. That doesn't make sense, but so?
Hmmmmm, don't ya just love disinformation? That's information that is
almost true but not quite. Let me shed some light here. The Victor
Reader Stream, which I am going to call The Stream from now on, can
indeed use the cartridges which are going to be available from NLS by
the end of next year. They can also use SD cards. It is now possible
to sign up for the beta test of the NLS downloadable audio books, but
there are several conditions.
1. You must understand that it is a beta test of the downloadable
books, and that you can download the books to your Stream by using an
SD card and a card reader to transfer the books. I haven't seen a
Stream, but you may be able to plug in one of those USB cables to it
and download the books directly to it.
2. You must be a registered user of the NLS Regional Library in your
area, and you must be an active user, either by getting cassettes or
by
getting a monthly magazine. Use of Web Braille doesn't count.
3. You must have a Stream.
Once you've met all the conditions above, you can sign up at:
http://www.nlstalkingbooks.org/dtb
Fill out the application. NLS will check with your regional library
and if they know you, you'll get a user ID and Password.
The next step is to contact Humanware for the code you need to put
into
the Stream so that it will read the NLS books. I'm not sure if
Humanware contacts you first or if you have to contact them. It may
be
in the form that comes to you when you sign up.
I've been on the beta team for these audio books. We got adapted
Victor Reader Classic Pluses, and we've been testing the web site and
the books for almost a year now. Ghys, they're wonderful! There are
some sixty-five hundred books up there now. So, if you have a
Stream,
sign up, but only if you meet all the conditions.
