You can transfer NNELS titles in .zip or unzipped format. Either way, the files will require approximately the same amount of space (.zip is usually a space-saver, but since MP3 is already a compressed format, NNELS uses the .zip format as a way to make titles downloadable: you can't download a folder). If you transfer the titles as .zip files, you will have to unzip them on the receiving computer, which may be a hassle, so in these instructions, we recommend transferring unzipped files.
Windows or Mac users:
-
Download and then unzip the NNELS title (instructions for downloading and unzipping).
-
Insert the USB or flash drive into the USB port on the computer.
-
From your computer, select the folder you want to transfer. If you wish to select multiple folders, hold down the Control or Command key as you click to select items.
-
When folders are selected, right-click and select "Copy".
-
Navigate to the USB drive, then right-click and select "Paste".
-
Safely eject the USB from your computer and you're ready to plug the USB drive into a different computer.
Please note: If the USB key is for transferring books to a Victor Reader Stream, please follow our specific instructions for the Stream.
