Don't use the BlackBerry internet browser because you'll get an error when you try to download big files. To listen to the audio files or to watch the video files, first download the files on to your laptop/desktop, then transfer the files to your blackberry mass storage card. From there, you can the BlackBerry media player to play the files. To read the PDFs books, follow the same transfer process, but to read the files, you will need a PDF reader, which you can buy from the BlackBerry Apps store.

Thank you for the response !

I seem to have found a way to play through a RSS / Podcast application called Viigo. The only problem is that it only downloaded feeds from this year. I am trying to  resolve it as I write this.

 

P.S. How does one download books on desktop? I cant find any links or buttons for that. Whenever I click on a link, it automatically starts playing in my quick player.

I haven't looked into Viigo. Also, the books I was referring to are found here: http://mises.org/literature.aspx. There are PDF files.

Viigo Works. I had to make each book a separate channel instead of downloading by  categories. When you click a podcast, it takes about 1-2 minutes to buffer it and then you can listen without problems. Thanks for all the help.

 

P.S. This website is truly a treasure of infromation. I wish I would have found it earlier Wink
