Sadly, I am compelled to agree with Matthew on this one. Finding clever techniques to circumvent NLS bard encryption will result in a permanent revocation of the NLS bard system. Don't think for one minute these lists are not monitored by big brother. Just a bit of unsolicited advice from one p

Goldwave also comes withthe Lame encoder which can be downloaded from goldwave.com as a plugin. I also commend Goldwave as a very easy to use and inexpensive sound recorder and editor. A licensed copy is only about $50 American or $59 Canadian. You can ddownload Goldwave as a free demo which wi

Hello Howard, Let me see if I can clarify what I said in an earlier post. The NLS books are zipped by default when you download them. Even if you were to unzip them in to another folder on your computer, you won't be able to play them unless you put them on an NLS cartridge or some kind of a USB

Hay Guys and Girls, If you really want to keep your NLS books, then why not put them on an external USB hard drive? This is what I do when I wish to use my cartridges to download and listen to other books from the Bard Talk website. Sure you won't be able to play them from that hard drive, but y

I should mention that manipulating the NLS content so that it can be played on a device not authorized for it, especially getting it into mp3 format, is a violation of your agreement with NLS. You need to be careful not to do that, and also not to give out ways and means to others. It will hurt

How about you hitch your player up to the lnie in on your sound card. Set the thing as fast as it'll go and record it with some software. Then use some software to manipulate it--get it back to normal speed. Of course, you could record it at normal speed but it would take a lot longer. When

After saving an NLS book on your computer or removable storage, when you want to read the book again, all you have to do is put it back on a medium that will fit into the NLS player. And there's nothin' wrong with that; it's a pretty nice player. - Original Message - From: "DJ DOCTO

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 pre
