[Ncabs] Introducing downloadable AudioPlus!

[Gary H. Ray]

One thing it occurred to me to point out is that there are 2 kinds of RFB &
D downloads.

Audio Plus is the ability to download  files that can then be read on a
DAISY readers such as FS Reader or the Victor Stream.  You have to buy keys
for each of these.

The other program is Audio Access which downloads in .wma format that plays
on Windows Media Player and MP3 players that can play protected WMA formats.
You do not have to pay extra for this one, unless I am mistaken.

Do not forget that you may have to pay for an RFB & D membership to qualify
for either of these.  I have been an RFB & D member for so long I was
grandfathered in for free.

Salute!

Gary Ray

The reason they say they do it is to get them out faster.  Nor are their
volunteers of the same quality as NLS.  They are all volunteers, while all
NLS narrators are paid, and paid very well.

I did a full test of the whole system this week.  It works, but it was a
pain to get set up and working.

Awesome! This is something I've been wanting for a long time now! If only 
they would adopt the same policies as the nls bard, I'd be in business. When

a narator reads a book for the NLS bard, they must finish it, whether it be 
an hour or 35 hours long, yes, there are some books that span that long, and

there's one narator reading it all. It's one reader all the way through the 
book. If only rfb and d would adopt that, I, for one, would be golden!
