Damon, , I'm not sure if any of the folders on the supplied card apart
from the notes folder are actually created when you get the Victor
Stream. I had to create the $VRDTB or whatever its called for DAISY
books myself. (Then you have to create sub-folders to contain the
individual DAISY books themselves.) Much the same goes for none DAISY
books, music, etc.
, haven't actually tried connecting the Victor Stream directly to my
PC as I have a card reader. I think the Stream is a USB 1.1 device,
so, if I'm right, file transfer would be slower via the reader's own
USB socket. (this is hinted at by HumanWare who say an external card
reader for transfer is faster.
Don't know if HumanWare were getting grief over the delays, but I wish
they had also shipped the VR Companion software mentioned in the
tutorial, because other's are coming to grief getting to terms with
the folder structure and copying files and books over to the stream.
OK if you are used to file management etc but many aren't.
I know someone has set up a UK Victor Stream list, but too busy I'm
afraid to search that out.
HTH.

Hi there.
Just got my Victor Stream thru the post and want to add some text
files to it.
When I connect the player to my PC, it slows my windows explorer down
horrendously. So navigating to the Mobile Device folder has taken me
about 5 or 10 minutes.
Once in the folder, I noted that there were no $VR labelled
sub-folders.
So I took the lead out and put it back in again.
This time two folders showed up: the Notes Folder and one for audio
bookmarks.
I waited a while to see if any further sub folders might appear but
they didn't. Took the lead out, put it back in again, still only the 2
folders. I need the $text folder to appear and the $talking book
folder so I can put some content on it.
Is this a common experience? If so it's absolutely dreadful. The point
of this machine is for you to use it in conjunction with your PC
easily and speedily.
I'm guessing that buying an SD card reader really might be the only
way forward is that what everyone is finding?
Are we expecting a fix for this in the next firmware update?
Really very bad. Good machine, nice idea, great sound, love the
recording (though buggy), like the speech synth but this takes the
biscuit.
Any thoughts appreciated
