You don't need an MP3 player...you can also download the books from your computer to a flash drive, then, plug that into the unit. It will recognize the files as long as they are in a compatible audio format such as .wma...

No just move your music etc to a USB or SD, plug in, and set your FM radio to Soundfly's frequency. Done

I'm sorry, I don't use my SoundFly for books, but this is their online description...it doesn' mention books, only music: "Soundfly SD lets you listen to sound files such as MP3 & WMA file stored in portable memory devices like USB flash memory & SD card, etc through your car radio speakers. It supports RDS (Radio Data System), so while listening to music, you can see the song and artist's name displayed on your car stereo. Soundfly SD transmits to all FM frequencies (88.1MHz-107.9MHz) and memorizes up to 7 FM frequencies. It comes with fully functional remote control. You can also transmit music from other Mp3 players such as iPod, Zune etc. Just plug USB or SD card in Sound-Fly & Enjoy music!"

You should have gotten a usb cable when you bought your mp3. Plug it into the mp3 and then plug it into your computer.

You could use your computer to save the audible book as an MP3 file and then load it on the T10. I use MP3 DIRECT to record audio

Sorry, but I can't answer that question. I have only used the player to listen to the existing books. I am aware you can add audio books and music but not how to do it. I asked the manufactures of this product several questions and one if them was "Can I add books and Music and delete existing ones and they said YES!. I have not yet pursued that but I did find the people at Library of Classics to be very helpful on 3 occasions that I spoke with them. I suggest you contact them by way of email at--- info@libraryoftheclassics.com for the answer to your question. They are most friendly and easy to correspond with via email.

I plug my external USB drive into the computer. Not sure if it would work like an MP3 player. I think there is a driver on the MP3 player that allows the music to play.

Depends upon what you mean. I have listened to audio books that I have downloaded from my local library on the Electorhome and they sound just fine. However I did need to copy the files to the player (this is as easy as copying files from one directory to another in windows). The player does not, as far as I know, have built in support for things like Audible like some more expensive players. Also, the player does not have the ability to play books at various speeds - which is a feature I would dearly love to have when listening to audiobooks. That said - for the money you get a very good player for audiobooks. Depends upon what you mean.

you can plug it in the wall(phone charger) to charge it. You plug it in the computer and you can charge it and download the audio from the books online. I bought this for my grandson.

We have an ipod nano 2gb model, and also the ipod classic 80 gb model. We have loaded audio books on both. The 80 gb works best because it can hold more. We subscribe to audible.com and download our books from them. They download and transfer right into itunes, easy as can be. Our Ipod classic has over 100 books, plus some music, on it and there's still lots of room left. Audible.com has ten of thousands of books including bestsellers, non-fiction, radio shows, and podcasts. I've subscribed for over 5 years I think, and I've never been disappointed.

I actually have my mp3 music on the computer and download it there. Then I hook up the mini usb to the USB and I can open the folder to view contents (you should get a windows pop-up) and then just drag music from my music folder to and/or from this folder.

Yes, any MP3 can be put on the device but the room might only fit one book at a time.

The mp3 player connects to your computer via usb, and appears as a thumb drive. All you need to do is copy and paste the files onto the player. Alternatively, you can use software that manages music devices and copy music from there.

This is perfect for audiobooks. Always get the largest GB you can afford or just buy the 4 GB and purchase up to a 32 GB micro SD memory card for it. You'll be amazed how many books you can store on it. I usually download mine from our local public library.
