Boy do I feel silly. I looked at the directory name again and what? It said audio_ not audio+podcasts. Dumb or what?
Thanks all. -----Original Message----- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Christopher Chaltain Sent: Friday, April 02, 2010 11:43 AM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Subject: RE: Revisiting nls digital player Well, I'm not sure what to say. I don't recall seeing any instructions that involve a $DTB folder on the NLS player. If I saw any such instructions, I either assumed the person knew what they were talking about, were talking about another player (such as the Victor Stream, which I don't have) or I just didn't pay too much attention since it was already working for me. BTW, I don't know that using a $DTB folder doesn't work. If you want to try what works for me you can. Otherwise, maybe someone else can help you. As I said before, I don't use a $DTB folder. Both on my blank NLS cartridge and my USB flash drive, I extract my BARD books directly into their root directories. This means I get one folder per book, and these folders are in the root directory. I also have an Audio+Podcasts folder in the root directory. I drop my MP3's into this folder. I have a standard player, so when I hold down the play/pause key I end up in my bookshelf, and I can use my forward and rewind keys to select the user's guide, any of the books I have and "Audio Files". It sounds like you have the advanced player, so you can get to the user's guide with the info key. If I select the "Audio Files" entry in my book shelf, I hear the first MP3 start to play. Now I can use the forward and rewind buttons to move through that MP3 file and jump to the next file in the folder. Like I said this works for me. I too am following instructions I got from another list, plus a little bit of trial and error. -- Christopher chalt...@gmail.com -----Original Message----- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Dave McElroy WA6BEF Sent: Friday, April 02, 2010 2:01 PM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Subject: RE: Revisiting nls digital player I was following the inscructions from this list. Somebody said that if you wanted to play mp3's you had to create two folders, one being $dtb and the other audio+podcasts. So I did. The nls books showed up beautifully but the other is invisible. To get to the users guide on my machine, I must hold down the info key and it toggles into it. What I'm trying to do is to access an MP3 book I've put on the flash mem. -----Original Message----- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Christopher Chaltain Sent: Friday, April 02, 2010 10:26 AM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Subject: RE: Revisiting nls digital player Well, I'm a tiny bit confused with what you're doing. For my DTBM from NLS, I extract each book I download from BARD into it's own folder in the root directory on the USB flash drive or blank NLS cartridge. Any MP3's go in the Audio+Podcasts folder, which is also in the root of the flash drive or Audio+NLS cartridge. Now when I hold down the play/pause key and go into the Bookshelf, I can go to any of the books I've downloaded, the user's guide or the Audio+Podcasts folder, which shows up as a single book. Each MP3 in that folder is like a different chapter in that book. I do not have a $DTB folder anywhere, which is why I'm thinking we may be talking about two different things and why I'm a bit confused. -- Christopher chalt...@gmail.com -----Original Message----- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Dave McElroy WA6BEF Sent: Friday, April 02, 2010 12:42 PM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Subject: RE: Revisiting nls digital player Hmmm. Should I place the book as a sub folder under audio+podcasts? Wonder if that would make it show up? Maybe I'll try that. -----Original Message----- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of john schwery Sent: Friday, April 02, 2010 5:02 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Revisiting nls digital player I don't know why you are having your problem but I can tell you that you named the audio+podcasts folder correctly. earlier, Dave McElroy WA6BEF, wrote: >Ok, what am I doing wrong? > >I have created two folders, the one being $dtb and the other audio+podcasts. >$dtb works great but I can't access the book on the other folder.
