How do I upgrade the firmware on the NLS dtbm player?
answer: Libraries and patrons can upgrade players to the latest software by 
downloading the latest firmware, and following the below instructions. The 
instructions, with 1 or 2 minor modifications from the instructions found on 
the NLS site, may be found on the NLS web site at: 
http://www.loc.gov/nls/DTBM/
Step 1. download the latest software from the NLS web site: 
DTBMsoftware-latest.zip
Step 2. Extract (unzip) this file onto a cartridge or USB drive so that the 
directory "upgrade" appears in the "root" directory of the drive. Note: this 
folder will automatically be created.
Step 3. Turn on the player.
Step 4. Insert the cartridge or USB drive containing the software.
Step 5. The player will announce "Upgrading your player's software."
Step 6. Wait until the upgrade is complete and the player restarts (about 10 
seconds), then remove the cartridge.
Step 7. The upgrade will only occur if the player's version is older than 
the version of the software on the cartridge. Reinserting the cartridge will 
not repeat the upgrade.
Step 8. remove the thumb drive and insert it into your computer and delete 
the upgrade folder/files on your thumb drive. It won't hurt the player to 
leave the upgrade folder on your thumb drive or cartridge, but removing it 
will free up approximately 3 hours of space for NLS books or mp3 files.

There must be, as I tried it and it didn't work for me. I wasn't aware that
you could update the NLS player in any way. I would appreciate any info on
this.
