Hi Walter. Long time no speak - I hope you're doing well. Many thanks for this. I read the manual and was confused ... it said that the Talking Books folder could accommodate DAISY books and any other file type that was recognised by the player (which I took to include MP3) but, in a separate section, it said that only DAISY and Epub (and some other format that I can't remember) would be played in the Talking Books folder. In that section it did mention other bookshelves/folders such as Music but my interpretation of what was written was that the player should format these itself rather than me actually having to add the Music/Podcasts/etc folders. Either way, I'm bemused that all the file types play in the Talking Books folder on SD cards and other USB drives but not on these ones.
Anyway, I'm not very experienced with the unit either but I'll be happy to help if I can. I assume you got a copy of the user guide with the machine but, if you're in need of a .doc copy, let me know and I'll be happy to email it to you.
