Thanks Ann;
One of my chapter members works for NLS and he never mentioned there was
a different site.  
If I download on to a cf card a book from the old site, why or why not
can I read it on the stream.  That is what I was hopint to do, because I
have some that someone downloaded for me.  I still need to practice with
the old site.  It is just finding the time.
Thanks for any help.

Hi Terry,

If you have a Stream, you can join the audio digital beta test site for
NLS.  You can play the BRF files on the BN, but not the ones from the
audio site of NLS.  

You will have no difficulty telling the two kinds of files apart.  The
Braille files from Web Braille are small and they can be downloaded by
your BN. 

The beta site for the audio books is available for anyone who has a
Stream.  If you want to join, you will need to fill out the application
at:  https://nlstalkingbooks.org/dtb  You need to have a stream, and you
need to be in good standing with your regional library.  Joining Web
Braille doesn't count.  You need to be getting cassettes from NLS. 

You download the books on your computer, unzip them, then, you
transfer them to the Stream.   You may want to use a card reader to
make it easier. 

It really isn't confusing at all, Terry.  There are two separate web
sites now, although I believe they are going to meld the two at some
point in the future.  If I can be of any other help, let me know.

Ann P.
