[nabs-l] daisy playback products

[Peter Donahue]

Hello Ashley and everyone,

    Chock it up to changing technology. SD cards and Web downloads are 
quickly replacing CDS. CDS will soon go the way of audio and videocassettes. 
It's a matter of "Adapt or be left behind." You'll get the hang of the 
technology with a little determination. All the best.

Hi all,

My last message was cut off.
I like the ease of daisy cds.
But products for them are being discontinued.
Increasingly, we are getting only devices that play sd cards so you have to 
download books. That is fine if you are tech savvy and have an internet 
connection and the site is accessible. For some, those variables do not 
exist though.
Besides, I want to just pop a book in a player; its easier than downloading 
for me.
I was on learning ally’s site and saw this disappointing news. Well, I 
actually knew they discontinued the classic and bibe.

It said,
“The following players are no longer available for purchase at Learning 
Ally, but training and support materials are available for the Victor Reader 
Wave, Victor Reader Vibe and Victor Reader ClassicX+ “
The players they sell include the plextalk and vr stream.

So what player do you use? I saw that learning ally sells and supports the 
vr stream and plextalk. what is the plextalk?
I know humanware came out with the new vr stratus but of course its so 
expensive. even more expensive than the vr stream!
I think the book sense is a daisy player too, but I don’t think it plays 
cds.
Gee.
