[nabs-l] daisy playback products

[Ashley Bramlett]

Rania,
To clarify, you can get daisy cds. It’s the same process as always.
My point is that its easier to pop a cd in a player; myself, I have the 
victor reader wave and the stream; although the stream needs repair.
Learning ally still produces cds. So as long as your vibe works,  you can 
play them.

What I'm trying to say is that humanware discontinued the daisy players. 
Therefore, our options of playback devices are limited.
They make a daisy player called a victor reader stratus; it plays cds and 
books on a thumb drive.
This is a fancier device and much more expensive than the wave and vibe 
were.

I still have the Victor Vibe from formerly RFBD. If we can't get books on cd
from them anymore that is vary sad!

Hi Ashley, and all.
I use the Daizy Player, that plays the CD's.
I'm hopefully going to give that back to the high school, though.
If Rehab cooperates, I'll get my Pac Mate, and then download all of my
stuff, from Bookshare.
Blessings, Joshua
