Yes, the main problem if you lose the navigation is finding parts of a book to 
return to them, or simply if you've lost your place ...

Whilst on this subject though, if you really *want* to play Daisy on the 
Zenstone, would you need to copy over anything else apart from the MP3's?  I 
would think not but thought I'd just clarify this.  Also, any ideas how many 
MP3's the Zen can cope with in any one folder?

  Hi Margaret, or is it Doreen?

  As Roger says, yes, but you lose a lot of the navigation, like headers and 
section traversing.  Also depending on the book's file names, it may not play 
on the Zen in the correct order.  So I would disagree with Roger on that basis 
and say no, it wouldn't really play Daisy satisfactorily, unless you are 
absolutely sure the files are in the right order by their naming conventions.  
I know people say don't bother with Daisy players because Daisy works on MP3 
players, but I think the navigation is nice.

  All the best

  Steve

  Hi folks:
  Does anybody know if the Zenstone reads daisy formatted files.  Any answers 
in the simplest terms, please.
  Many thanks.
