RE: Bard wishlist problem plus transfering to Bard app with dropbox: was: Re: Bard Mobile
I'm still having issues loading books into Bard Mobile. I followed the very detailed instructions below but when I get to the step where it states to click on open in and I click on Bard Mobile, I get an error that states this file type can't be viewed. I go into bard mobile anyway to see if it loaded but nothing. Is there certain types of MP3 files that bard mobile can't read? Any help here would be greatly appreciated. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Cheryl Homiak Sent: Saturday, December 07, 2013 4:45 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Bard wishlist problem plus transfering to Bard app with dropbox: was: Re: Bard Mobile The error looks to me like it's a bard problem but I think it's definitely not a problem with anybody's individual phone. I just posted steps for dropbox. Here they are again. 1. Put the zip file in your dropbox folder on your computer. Make sure it has time to have uploaded into dropbox. open dropbox on your device. If your zip file doesn't show up there, just wait; eventually it will. 3. Find the zip file. Double tap it. Then wait till the progress says 100%. 4. Double tap share. 5. Double tap open in. 6. Double tap open in bard mobile. The bard mobile app will open but will still not show the new book. This time I just left it open and and after a couple of minutes I got an alert that said the request had timed out. This may or may not happen to you. Remember the book has to do more than just be in the app; it has to be authorized which means the server is being contacted if I understand correctly. 7. Go out of the app. I didn't remove it from the app switcher; I just pressed the home button on my phone and then pressed the home button twice to get back into the app switcher and found the bard mobile app and double tapped on it. I think it might have still said 5 audiobooks but as I flicked through the books, I found my new one. Then I checked again and it did say 6 audiobooks. Order of this may vary. You might have to go out of the bard app and back in more than once. -- Cheryl Go beyond the Christmas story this year; meet Immanuel (God with us), Jesus, the crucified Savior, Christ, the risen Lord.

RE: Bard wishlist problem plus transfering to Bard app with dropbox: was: Re: Bard Mobile
I don't think that you can import mp3 books in bard mobile. What they were talking about with zip files were NLS books that you may have on your computer that you wish to transfer to the bard app. I have had no problems adding books to the wishlist and importing them to the app. If you need any help, let me know.

Re: Bard wishlist problem plus transfering to Bard app with dropbox: was: Re: Bard Mobile
Make sure you are tapping on the zip file and not one of the individual files or a folder. And no, you can't play mp3 files in the app which is what makes me think you are not choosing the zip file. Also, just to be clear, once something is in your wish list, you do not have to use dropbox. You can directly download from your wish list in the Bard mobile app on your phone now that this feature appears to be working again. -- Cheryl Go beyond the Christmas story this year; meet Immanuel (God with us), Jesus, the crucified Savior, Christ, the risen Lord.

Re: Bard wishlist problem plus transfering to Bard app with dropbox: was: Re: Bard Mobile
The BARD app can only play NLS books. If the mp3 files are not in a zip files from NLS, the app can't play them. If you want to be able to listen to a book that is just mp3 files, Voice Dream Reader will now do that.
