that is certainly true, though many of us do have friends that don't want to touch a computer. I personally can't see why anyone wouldn't want to have a CD player these days. You can't argue that cassette is more accessible, it simply isn't. You can't argue that it is less convenient either as you can skip tfrom track to track much more quickly. If it does turn out that lots of your readers don't have CDs and insist on sticking to cassettes, the reason for this refusal to change is of interest to me in itself.

Ray! I think you are talking to the wrong people. The sort of people who still insist on cassette copies would probably not be on this list. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ray's Home" <rays-home@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Access-Uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, December 11, 2006 10:14 AM Subject: [access-uk] Must you have a cassette copy? Wondered if anyone would care to comment about providing audio information and magazine material on cassette as well as CD? I'm part of a small transcription and aural history enterprise and, partly because our cassette duplication ability is a little limited we would prefer to ditch cassette, if only we could! So, as well as getting local authority customers and the like to review whether users actually do have a CD player - DAISY or otherwise - to play material, how do people feel about not being offered the choice between cassette or CD? A bit contentious maybe, but we're considering upping the price quite a bit for cassette copies considering the extra work involved. I know from a recent query on this list about CD players that quite a few have stuck with this medium but from our point of view its simply a nuisance.
