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.
