It organizes them by folders and calls them albums • Audio Books – include files from Audible.com

  4. Finding a title • Press the Title key • This brings up a horizontal listing of all titles • Move to a title using the right or left Arrows • When you hear the desired title, press the Play/Stop key to start/stop reading

  7. The Audio Category • Is unique and can be found in all 3 levels of the Title list • Unlike other Categories, must press Play/Stop to open for playback • All audio files comprise a title, and use the title navigation commands to move from track to track or album to album

  8. Sending files from a computer • Connect the BPP to the computer via the long USB cable • BPP will show as a removable drive under ‘My Computer’ • You may copy and paste files or folders using Windows commands

  9. Copying content directly into the SD Card • Requires a Card Reader connected to the computer (not included with BPP) • First, remove the card from the device (be sure BPP is paused or off) • Alternatively, use a different card • Copy and paste files or folders into the card using Windows commands

  10. Transferring content without a computer • BPP writes/reads content from USB devices including: • Digital Talking Book cartridges from NLS • Thumb drives • External CD, DVD, or Disk Drive with disks including both data and music CDs

  11. To transfer content using a USB device • Turn device on (if device has on/off switch) • Plug small end of short USB cable into USB jack on Book Port Plus. • Plug large end of cable into the external USB device. • If Book Port Plus is not on, turn it on and press the Title key until it responds "USB Media” • If Book Port Plus is already on, it announces "USB Media" to let you know it detects the connection • Find/play books using previous instructions

  12. Backing up a title to the SD card • Open the title • Press the Menu key to opens the main menu • Press Left or Right arrow to the "Backup" option • Press Enter. It responds by asking you to confirm the backup by pressing Enter. • Press Enter. It responds by copying the selected book, file, or music CD to the SD card. • Depending on the size and type of title, this process may take several minutes. • After copying title, USB device may be removed

  13. Things to keep in mind • Protected material may require special software/authorization to play (NLS, RFBD, Bookshare, Audible) • Daisy titles require that each title resides in its own folder • If the books are compressed into a zip file, you must first extract the contents of that zip file to a folder before copying the title. (Book Port Plus does not recognize zip files.) • Music folders can be nested only eight deep. • There can be only 1024 files or folders in each folder.

  14. Using the Book Transfer software • Once installed from included CD, makes the process of identifying and copying titles easy by performing the following tasks: • Unzips archive files such as those downloaded from NLS and Bookshare • Converts braille files to text • Converts most PDFs to text • Sends a Digital Talking Book on CD • Creates folders on the SD card • Sends entire folders from the PC • Adds Book Port Plus to the Send To context menu of the File Explorer • Previews supported files • Queues selected files for later transfer • Checks for software and firmware updates
