The stream is an awesome investment, but my understanding is that the
NLS player would be provided for free to those patrons who ask for or
need it, kind of like the tape recorders or old record players the
library already loans (loaned?)

It's a decent option for those who can't aford or don't want to buy a
stream, and it can play mp3 files. I've looked at the unit.
also, I think there are two different versions, one which is slightly
more advanced than the other. the basic unit will be available to
patrons, while the other, more advanced model which I think has more
playback control and really nice extra options will be available to
patrons who show a need. Of course, I'm pulling all of this out of my
head from a conversation at a tech expo, and it's 3:00 in the morning,
so I'm really straining here to remember details. But I'd keep it in
mind.
