real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that

opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance."

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!
Rania,

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

 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.
