Yes, this is how I have my music organized on my booksense, my Rockbox
player and my PC. On my NLS cartridge, and on the USB memory stick I
used to use with my DTBM, I found I had to place my MP3's in the
Audio+Podcasts so I could move from MP3 file to file on the DTBM. Also,
as I said in a previous note, your BARD books can go in any directory,
as long as you have one book per directory. Looks like the advice I got
on using the $DTB folder came from a Victor Stream user. Here's what it
says on the BARD Talk FAQ at http://www.bardtalk.com/faq.php:
12. Can I move a thumb drive with NLS books between my third party
reading device and my DTB player and have it work with both?
Answer: Yes. The NLS dtbm will locate any NLS books on your thumb drive
regardless of the folder names in which they are placed. If your third
party reading
device requires the NLS books to be in a certain folder, you should
place them branching off that folder if you plan to listen to them using
both the dtbm
and your third party reader. For example, if your third party reader is
a Victor Reader Stream, you would place the NLS books in subfolders
below $VRDTB
on your thumb drive so you could listen to them on both the NLS dtbm and
your Stream. Remember that bookmarks including your current reading
position are
stored on the individual device and will not transfer when you switch
the media between reading devices.
13. Where do I put MP3 files I want to listen to on my DTB player?
Answer: Create a folder on your thumb drive or a writable cartridge
called: audio+podcasts. Note, when creating this folder, use the + sign
between audio
and podcasts. Additional folders may be created under that main folder.
Mp3 files will be played sequentially based on their file names. the NLS
dtbm will
not announce the names of the files because it does not have a built in
text to speech engine.

Hello Chris and Ike,
On one cartridge, I have all of my books in indevidgeual folders that
bares their names.
On another cartridge, I have all of my mp3 files in a subfolder that's
called music but in folders with the names of the types of music for
each one of the folders.
I done this because, it's easier for me to get to them that way.
My best regards.
John.

audiobooks from my NLS player"]
Your MP3's should go into a folder called Audio+Podcasts. Your BARD
books can go anywhere, but it's suggested you place them in a folder
called $DTB.

High Tom,
You are correct, you cannot play those NLS books on your computer.
Like I said in an earlier post, the people at the Bard Talk website
has
those encrypted.
So no you can't convert those to a standard audio file.
But between you and me both, I wish we could.
My best regards.
John.

Hello Jim and list: Since I don't exactly know what a "pin drive"
is..I
may not be fully qualified to answer this question..but if I were to
hazard a guess, I'm inclined to think that you can't as those
files just
aren't meant to be played on the computer! Of course I could be
wrong, so
am anxious to see what other list members have to say on this one!
