[Dtb-talk] DAISY PLAYERS

[Greg Kearney]

We developed DaisyWorm here at Association for the Blind of Western Australia. It will not play NLS DAISY books. We offered to develop it to do so but our offer was not accepted by the NLS. VOD is also not able to play NLS books.

This is due to the digital rights management applied to the books.

Both DaisyWorm and VOD will play any audio DAISY book from the following souces:

Association for the Blind of Western Australia (ABWA)
Vision Australia
Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB)
Royal National Institute of Blind Persons (RNIB)
Royal New Zealand Foundation for the Blind (RNZFB)
Queensland Narrating Service (Australia)
South African Talking Book Library
Malaysian Association for the Blind (MAB)
Talboks- och punktskriftsbiblioteket (TBP Sweden)
Norsk lyd- og blindeskriftbibliotek, (NLB Norway)
Nota (Denmark)
Icelandic Library for the Blind

As well as most other talking book libraries world wide which do not employ digital rights management in their productions.
