[Athen] Victor Stream, Macs, and CDs

[Pielaet, Jon]

Hello everyone,


"- Does anyone have experience connecting a Victor Reader Stream to a
Mac 
(or Windows 7)?  On several sites, it talks about Windows XP, but 
nothing else."

Yes, the stream is a USB Mass Storage Device and will be recognized as
flash memory in almost any operating system including Windows 7, Mac
OSX, and Linux.


"- Has anyone used the USB CD attachment to connect a CD drive to the 
Stream?  This would allow for the transfer of AudioPlus CD books to the 
Stream.  Here is the URL for the "authorized" version of the device 
(http://tinyurl.com/24v75l8), but I am curious about a general external 
CD player."

Although I don't have experience connecting an external CD drive
directly to the stream, I have copied AudioPlus CD books to the 
Stream from the CD drive of a PC with no trouble.

Hope that helps,

Jon

Hello all,

Well, I am just full of it today....(ahem)...questions, that is.

A few questions about the Victor Reader Stream:

- Does anyone have experience connecting a Victor Reader Stream to a Mac

(or Windows 7)?  On several sites, it talks about Windows XP, but 
nothing else.

- Has anyone used the USB CD attachment to connect a CD drive to the 
Stream?  This would allow for the transfer of AudioPlus CD books to the 
Stream.  Here is the URL for the "authorized" version of the device 
(http://tinyurl.com/24v75l8), but I am curious about a general external 
CD player.


Take care,
Sean
