If anything seems different on your particular setup, let me know your device version or firmware and I\u2019ll adjust accordingly.\n\n---\n\n### 1. What the Orbit Player Can Do with Files + SD Cards\n\n- The Orbit Player supports a **full-size SD card slot** in addition to its internal storage. ([orbitresearch.com](https://www.orbitresearch.com/products/daisyplayer/orbit-player/?utm_source=openai))  \n- It supports popular book/document formats like **DAISY, EPUB, DOCX, PDF, HTML, BRL, BRF, TXT** for reading; and several audio formats (MP3, WAV, etc.). ([orbitresearch.com](https://www.orbitresearch.com/products/daisyplayer/orbit-player/?utm_source=openai))  \n- To add files to the SD card, you\u2019ll use either the built-in **Mass Storage Mode** over USB, or take out the card and use a computer/SD card reader. ([orbitresearch.com](https://www.orbitresearch.com/support/orbit-player/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### 2. How to Transfer Files Using Mass Storage Mode\n\nThis method lets your computer see the Orbit Player (or the SD card inside it) like a USB drive.\n\n1. **Connect the Orbit Player to your computer** using the USB cable.\n2. **Enable Mass Storage Mode** on the Orbit Player.  \n   - Look in the Menu \u2192 USB options for something like \u201cMass Storage\u201d, or follow prompts that appear after connecting. ([manualzz.com](https://manualzz.com/doc/83246793/orbit-research-orbit-reader-20-user-manual?utm_source=openai))  \n3. **On the computer**, the device should now appear as a removable drive.\n4. **Copy or move your files** (books, documents, audio, etc.) directly into the SD card\u2019s folders.\n5. **Eject safely**, then disconnect the player.\n\n---\n\n### 3. How to Transfer Files by Removing the SD Card\n\nIf you prefer or need to manually handle the card:\n\n1. Power off the Orbit Player (or ensure it\u2019s not writing to the card).\n2. Remove the SD card from the slot.\n3. Insert the SD card into a **card reader** on your computer.\n4. Copy files onto the card.\n5. Handle ejection properly via your computer\u2019s file manager.\n6. Put the SD card back into the Orbit Player.\n\n---\n\n### 4. File Formats & SD Card Requirements\n\n- **File formats supported**: `.DAISY`, `.EPUB`, `.DOCX`, `.PDF`, `.HTML`, `.BRL`, `.BRF`, `.TXT` for documents/books; standard audio formats too. ([orbitresearch.com](https://www.orbitresearch.com/products/daisyplayer/orbit-player/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **SD card format**: FAT32 is required. Cards should typically be from **4 GB up to 32 GB**. ([orbitresearch.com](https://www.orbitresearch.com/support/orbit-reader-40-support/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### 5. Using File Management on the Orbit Player\n\nOnce files are on the SD card, you can:\n\n- Browse folders and files: likely via a \u201cFile Manager\u201d option in the device\u2019s menu. ([orbitresearch.com](https://www.orbitresearch.com/support/orbit-player/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Open a file: select it from the list and press a key like \u201cSelect\u201d or similar. ([orbitresearch.com](https://www.orbitresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Orbit-Reader-40-User-Guide-v1.9.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n- Delete, rename, or move files: depending on firmware version and File Manager capabilities. If you\u2019re running version 2.0 or later, the File Manager supports copying between SD card and internal/USB storage. ([orbitresearch.com](https://www.orbitresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Orbit-Reader-40-User-Guide-v1.11.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you tell me **which firmware version** or **software build** you\u2019re using (you can usually find that under *About* or *Help* in the menu), I can give you instructions **tailored exactly for your version**. Want me to do that?"
