Hi Peke:
Thanks for your response. I'll try to give you as much information as I can. The Audible Otis player is a nice slim device which for all practicle purposes worked flawlessly in downloading all kinds of audio books from their web site and into their Audible Manager. For what I can understand is that it has music capabilites as well. This I know due to the fact that according to Audible, you can download music to it. The unfortunate thing is that you are limited by their manager for transfering music as it only pertains to their specific audio books. In otherwords, this MP3 player was developed to use from books on their web site, This MP3 player has a very basic equalizer which shows up on a LCD screen built into the player indicating such selections as rock, jazz, classical, etc. According to the manual, it is supposed to work with Windows Media Player. When I plug in the USB connected, I am being told that it does not recognize the audio player. Of course I wish I had an iPod, but I will have to wait for that. The Otis player was free when you agree to become a member of their book club and purchase a minimum of two books a month. After that time, you own it. I just don't know what I can do to get this player to accept music from my CD's and even to download online such as iTunes, MM and even Media Player. I hope this will help you and I am going to include a quick start gude and users manual for the Otis player. Thanks once again for you response.
