Hi,
Sorry for good and bad news!
Best wishes,

Two quick comments folks.
My question about the fast forward and rewind would be nice to have an answer to. The lack of such a facility is hard to fathom, such a thing is so easy in Winamp.
In the case of the book I am reading, the narration is fluent enough, but the odd fluff could have been edited out. Mark up, if that's what it is called, is minimal, just chapters, and chapter announcements almost blunder into the text of the book. Guess its the reader's style that really gets to me, but then maybe he was giving his time freely, or for less than Equity rates, don't know about that, and I'd guess the recording is at least 25 years old, probably older.
One would hope that, given the investment now talked about at RNIB in equipment, three studios, SADIE editing and all, that things are being done better now. That said, what seems to defeat RNIB - and just about everyone else - is the people hours available for such tasks as editing and marking up propperly. Seems so much of the DAISY system's potential for navigation is being sidelined by this lack of ongoing funding for employing more actual human beings. Still, dare say the same lack is obvious everywhere now.
