Things to keep in mind Protected material may require special software/authorization to play (NLS, RFBD, Bookshare, Audible) Daisy titles require that each title resides in its own folder If the books are compressed into a zip file, you must first extract the contents of that zip file to a folder before copying the title. (Book Port Plus does not recognize zip files.) Music folders can be nested only eight deep. There can be only 1024 files or folders in each folder.
