Hello Irwin and everyone,

I downloaded and unpacked both issues last night without any trouble. I 
can't wait to hear how they sound. Hope you can resolve your issue.

Hi, I tried downloading smithsonian for October and December twice.

Both times I got errors when unzipping the file.  The error indicated that I 
might not have enough room on my Hard Drive.

I have had no difficulty unzipping other files.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  Early Reading Collection

  The American Printing House for the Blind and the Dolly Parton's 
Imagination Library in the United States provide, in audio, a collection of 
early reading titles for blind, dyslexic and other young disabled children. 
Unfortunately they have chosen not provide these resources to disabled 
children and their families outside of the United States.

  In order to address this unfortunate situation the Commonwealth Braille & 
Talking Book Cooperative has undertaken to collect and distribute the same 
titles in the standard international DAISY format that can be played on any 
DAISY or MP3 enabled device or software world wide. In addition the full 
text full audio versions of these titles contain a Unified English Braille 
Code (UEBC) Braille ready file that can be used to generate Braille versions 
of the titles as well.

  It is unfortunate that we are required to reproduce titles for which 
existing recording have already been made. This is an example of the sad 
state of affairs that international talking books and Braille book exchange 
has reached. A condition which, at one time, did not exist.

  Note: As these books are protected by copyright access is restricted to 
those persons and agencies and libraries which have usernames and passwords 
issued to them by Association for the Blind of Western Australia library 
services. For more information please contact us at info at cbtbc.org
