Caroline,
As I have said in reply to another post, the Plextalk allows for speed to be
increased or decreased on any kind of disk. The player can hold thousands of
disk positions so essentially it will remember the position on any number of
disks.

Subject: [access-uk] Daisy Players
Hello,
I am looking into getting a Daisy player which will play Daisy titles as
well as MP3 CD's and possibly audio CD's too.
After some research, it seems as if the PTN1 player, available from the
RNIB, meets most of my requirements - it has an in-built speaker, works from
battery as well as mains and allows you to speed up the playback of disks -
but there are a couple of questions which as yet I haven't managed to find
an answer to. So if anyone has one of these players, please could you let
me know the following:
1. If you insert an MP3 disk into this player, such as those now provided
by the Calibre library or the Infotech magazine, can you increase the speed
of the playback? When I listen to material on cassette, I've got used to
increasing the speed considerably and would want to do the same with MP3's.
I know you can increase the playback speed for Daisy disks, but don't know
if this applies to MP3 disks as well.
2. I know there is a resume feature so that if you stop a disk and remove
it from the player, the next time you put that disk back into the player, it
will remember where you were and start playing from that point. How many
disks does this apply to? If I have three disks which I want to listen to,
will the player remember my last position on all three, or does it only
remember the last position on one disk?
And finally, if anyone has any general comments about this player, either
positive or negative, or if you think there is a far better player available
which I probably should consider instead, please let me know.
Thanks,
Caroline.
