When I was only 10 years of age, I received a talking book record 
player and a C-77 talking book cassette player.
I was told that you couldn't play music tapes and records on those 
machines.

But I got away with doing that with both of them.
The only thing with the record player, you couldn't play 45 and or 78 
records on them because there wasn't any speed positions for those 2 
speeds.
But you were able to play 33 and a third record LP's without any 
problems at all!

And I did, and enjoyed it too!
So again, lock me up and throw away the key!
My best regards.
 John.

that one; all I know is: people used to do it all the time (played

Is it so, that some kinds of USB thumb drives and such don't work on the 
NLS player?  I have a coby mp3 player that is, in effect, just a thumb 
drive that happens to have mp3 playing bardware/firmware built-in.  When I 
plug it into the side plug on the nls player, the player beeps and nothing 
else happens.  Wonder if I put the stuff on it wrong or maybe it's just 
not gonna work?

Thanks.

Hello Victoria,
Use an audio editor like Sound Forage or Gold Wave to record your talking 
book tapes.

Convert them to .MP3 with Switch and or any other audio file converter.
Then copy it to the cartridge, and there you are.
Now all you have to do is, put the cartridge in the player and go to town 
listening to it!

Hope this helps.
My best regards.

That is only necessary if you put NLS books on
