No Need to Use Bookshelf Mode – Sequential Play
By Alicia Waters | March 12, 2019
Members may now download firmware which allows users to sequentially play multiple talking-book titles on a single cartridge without the need to enter Bookshelf mode—a capability that has long been requested by NLS patrons and network libraries. For cartridges containing more than one book or magazine, the new Sequential Play feature enables users to press the play/stop button to go to the next title when the player announces, “End of book.” Standard Bookshelf mode will still work as before, allowing users to play multiple books or magazines in any order they wish, but for those who want a simpler method, the new functionality makes it possible to move from one title to the next without having to use the bookshelf.
The updated firmware and instructions for installing this new program is available for download on the NLS public website at https://tinyurl.com/NoBookShelf and the BARD Help page at https://tinyurl.com/BARDFirmware.
