High Randy,
No, if you need a flash drive, you will have to buy one.
I found in my experience, that having a cartridge that was made just
for the NLS player, works best.
You can get them from:
http://www.aph.org
But the only thing is, you'll have to wait until next month.
They have them on back order.
Also keep in mind, you will need a USB extension cord in order to plug
those cartridges in to your computer to put anything on them.
Hope this helps.
My best regards.
John.

The Bookshelf Upgrade
You might want to download several books or magazines to a flash drive
and then listen to any of them in some random order. To do this, your
player must contain a software upgrade that includes the ability to
"bookshelf" books. Here are the steps needed to upgrade a library
digital book player to the latest software:
Obtain the latest software from the NLS web site:
http://www.loc.gov/nls/DTBM/ . There appear on the web page two
links. I suggest you try the first link. If this does not work,
return to the page and download the second link.
After you click the link from the web site and download the file to
your computer, extract (unzip) this file onto a flash drive (thumb
drive, etc.) so that the directory "upgrade" appears in the "root"
directory of the drive. This procedure is exactly the same as you use
to download a book.
Turn on the player.
Insert the flash drive containing the software into the USB port of
the player.
The player will announce "Upgrading your player's software."
Wait until the upgrade is complete and the player restarts (about 10
seconds), then remove the flash drive.
The upgrade will only occur if the player's version is older than the
version of the software on the cartridge; reinserting the cartridge
will not repeat the upgrade.
You now can erase the files from the flash cartridge that you
downloaded to undertake this upgrade and use the flash cartridge to
download books and magazines.
To employ the bookshelf feature, turn the player on. Press and hold
the Play/Stop button until you hear the narrator announce the
activation of the bookshelf feature. Continue to hold down the
Play/Stop button and press either the FF or the RW arrow-shaped key to
either side of the Play/Stop button. As you push and release these
keys, the player will announce the next title on the flash drive.
Once you get to the end of the titles saved on the drive, you must
utilize the other direction key to toggle back through the titles. In
other words, you cannot continue to use only the FF or the RW key to
toggle through the titles in a circuit-type action. Release the
Play/Stop button when you reach the item to which you desire to
listen.

Friends, I received my digital talking book player. it's a remarkable
piece of machinery.
I've never seen anything like it in my life.
I'm curious though where do you go to get updates for the machine?
i have a usb plug that I normally use to connect my stereo to the
computer. Can it be used?
or do I have to call the library to get whatever I need?
