Re: Looking For Some Information Concerning NLS Player
Hi John, You may be correct, but from the BARD site there are no four digit versions. They all have three digits. You mension below that you have 2.1.0.3. so I am not sure what you had. when I got my player it was version 2.0.3. This didn't have the book shelf feature. The BARD site says it started in version 2.1.0 If you did have atleast 2.1 something, and didn't have the bookshelf feature, then it is a very strange thing.

Re: Looking For Some Information Concerning NLS Player
Hi Tom, If the player is actually on, but the play button hasn't been pressed, there may be a problem with the unit if it doesn't shut off after 30 minutes when it is on battery power. I really have to watch it though, because since the book starts if a cartridge is in and the on button is pressed, If I think I am turning the unit off when it is actually already off, I may be turning it on and starting a book that may go on for hours. I may do this if I take my ear phones out before pressing buttons and don't hear what the player is doing.

Re: Looking For Some Information Concerning NLS Player
High Chris, I think I know what Tom is getting at here. Some how, he is getting in inaccurate reading of his battery life or the kind of charge he has left in it after a time. If the player isn't playing a book, then it's suppose to turn itself off after a half-hour. But Tom's player doesn't do that. I spoke to a Mr. Dave Bond via email at the Bard Talk website about this problem. He says, that maybe the battery checks are messed up. He suggested that Tom calls his cooperating library and ask them to send hem a replacement NLS player. But to me, it sounds like something is wrong with the program or if you will, the firmware that's on that particular machine. Maybe the firmware needs to be uninstalled and reinstalled. But there isn't anything that suggest how to go about doing that to one of these players. Tom, if you're reading this, you may wish to call your library and tell them about the problem you're experiencing with your player. Maybe they mite have a suggestion for you on what you can do about it. My best regards.

RE: Looking For Some Information Concerning NLS Player
Interesting, but the file you're referring to is just the latest firmware for the NLS player, which is currently version 2.1.3. It isn't any special bookshelf software. Since you said you were already at the latest level of firmware, I wonder what was going on with your player. I wonder if somehow the previous upgrade to 2.1.3 didn't fully take but did update the announce of the FW level. Maybe upgrading again got it to take. Oh well, the bottom line is that you got it working, and we'll never know what the original problem was. -- Christopher chalt...@gmail.com -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of DJ DOCTOR P Sent: Tuesday, May 04, 2010 11:21 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Looking For Some Information Concerning NLS Player Hello Chris, What I had to download, is a zip folder that's called, DTPM_latest_software.zip.

Re: Looking For Some Information Concerning NLS Player
There is no special book shelf firmware, and if you'd had the latest version of the firmware, you shouldn't have had to do anything. Here's what it says at the BARD Talk FAQ at http://www.bardtalk.com/faq.php: 4. How can I access the player's bookshelf feature and why is this not mentioned in the built-in user guide? Answer: The bookshelf feature was added with firmware version 2.1.0 and the built-in user guide has not been updated to discuss this feature. First, make sure your player's firmware is version 2.1.0 or higher using the method discussed in FAQ 5. To access the bookshelf, hold down the Play key until the player announces "Bookshelf" and the number of books on your media and the current book number selected. To move to another book, use the Forward and Rewind keys on the standard player and the Next and Previous keys on the advanced player. When located at the desired book, press Play to start reading. -- Christopher chalt...@gmail.com On 5/4/2010 12:12 AM, DJ DOCTOR P wrote: High Tom, Yes, that is the latest firmware update.

Re: zen ston and nls player
when I first started playing mp3 files they played but every now and then the player would announce "cartridge error". It doesn't any more since I moved them all to the audio+podcasts folder. - Original Message - From: "DJ DOCTOR P" To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Monday, May 03, 2010 10:52 PM Subject: Re: zen ston and nls player Hello Robert, Just curious but why do your mp3 and other audio files have to be in a folder that's named audio+podcasts? I'm asking this question because on one cartridge, I have a folder that is entitled, music. I have subfolders with the different types of music such as jazz rock pop oldies and so on. On another cartridge, I have all of my NLS books in individual folders that bares their names. I don't have any problems playing my audio files and or my NLS books.

Be sure to also place your BARD books in their own folders for the sake of organization. - Original Message - From: "Isaac" To: Sent: Monday, May 03, 2010 2:58 PM Subject: zen ston and nls player I read that my zen stone would work when plugged into my nls player. I get a cartridge error when I try to use it. Am I doing something wrong? Will it work with bard and mp3's? Will it play my music files also?

need sound card recommendations
Hello, I am in the market for a new internal sound card and would greatly appreciate any recommendations or thoughts on what not to buy. I don't need anything too fancy, but want to get the best for my money and need to keep it around $75 if possible. I am running Jaws10 with XP. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
