[Dtb-talk] digital player information

[Dale Leavens]

All you say is true from my perspective too. The Stream has a better and 
louder speaker as well however we have some software stability issues with 
the Stream. Just recently when copying DAISY content from CNIB discs 
apparently works but the book does not appear in the bookshelf. When 
attempting to copy it again one is prompted to overwrite the book which 
apparently isn't there and doing so doesn't put it there either. There seems 
to be issues around how the directory works and is organized. So far I have 
not seen this sort of trouble with the PlexTalk Pocket. I do wish it had a 
more robust sound though and a better protective case for when I am wearing 
it about my work in the shop and gardens.
