I'm going to post at least one more thing about MP3's. My e-mail arrived this morning sometime before 1:00 a.m. Which may explain why I didn't grab it right then, though I know some of us work overnight!
It came as 24 ZIP files, and I am first downloading it into the "Other Books" folder on my Stream card.
Thanks, Roger, for the recommendation of how to handle it. I know you've gotten a book.

I suppose, based on past posts I'm in the minority, but as a sighted volunteer who has not joined the other discussion email list and doesn't want to, it doesn't bother me in the least to have posts on this list about technical subjects, such as MP 3 or new scanners or whatever; I can always delete the post based on the subject line of the first sentience if I don't want to read it; and I do like to read posts of a personal nature; they help us get to know each other and feel we are friends.

Maybe they should go in the $VRDTB folder, but it remains that it did not work for me until I put it in the audio+podcasts folder on the route directory. As 
for the proper place being the $VRDTB folder, though, I don't think that
even applies on the DTBM. A BARD book will play just as well in that folder or not. The only reason it might even be there is because of using the Humanware companion to load books. An MP3 is not a BARD book though. An MP3 does not seem to function in a subfolder. Now, if it is a Daisy book I would suppose that it should work in the $VRDTB folder in the Stream. I would not know from my own experience because I have not tried it in the Stream yet. I only know that someone on the BARD Talk list reported that it did not work in that folder in the Stream, but that it did in the other books folder. Whether it is working 
where it should or not, though, it does work. It works if you draw on the
mistakes and experience of others who are trying it out. If you really want it to work where you think it should work then I think the best place to start in 
your trouble shooting would be support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 Hi all,

 Roger, I put it in the $VRDTB folder because it is a DAISY book. I also

tried it as a book on a new cartridge with nothing else on it.   In the
Stream's $VRDTB folder I got the 'Please Respect... thingy. When I
placed it on a new cartridge, I got the same error. They should go in the
regular DAISY folder because they are DAISY books.
