[Electronics-talk] Talking Daisy Book Player & Demo Podcast! Veteran's Day deal: Free Wall Chargers with Talking Mp3 Players!

[Tracy Carcione]

I think the new Daisy player would support Bookshare books, particularly
in the MP3 format, if that's helpful to anyone.

> Please allow me to dispel any rumors being bandied around about this
> new Daisy player.
>
> 1. It was never claimed by myself that this player supported either
> NLS, Audible.com, or any other purveyor of protected file types.
>
> 2 If Learning Ally delivers their Daisy books in a protected file
> format, then they won't be supported on this new Daisy player.
>
> 3. If anyone cared to follow the link to the site they would have seen
> plain as day the statement which says "Please note that this player
> doesn't support books from audible.com or Bard/NLS."
>
> 4. I tested it with free samples of Daisy books which I found by
> googling for them as I had no Daisy book files at hand.
>
> 5. I'm pretty sure that Bard/NLS is not the sole source for Daisy
> books, in fact I know of one individual who converts his own regular
> audiobooks to Daisy books.
>
> 6. I will be contacting someone at NLS to work out how to add this
> player to those that do support NLS books.
