Playing DTBs no matter what they were created on is what Book Port is
supposed to do.  Let's make sure we are doing everything correctly and
that I have all the facts.

First, are you sending the file ncc.html?  That is the file you need to
send for Daisy 2.x books.  Alternatevly, you may just instert the CD
while the Book Port is connected, or you may have the CD in the drive
when you connect the Book Port, and it should send the correct file.

How are you attempting to send the file?

Earlier this year I purchased a Plextalk ptr1 talking book recorder
because I have notes on tape I wanted to convert to daisy format.  I
like the plextalk machine and the plextalk recording software.  The only
thing is it is not small enough to take on the train and the battery
life is too short.  

I saw the Book Port would play daisy books, it is small so I purchased
a machine.  I have updated the firmware to 2300 I put in a card with a
book created on what must be one of the most popular digital talking
book recording devices for end users in the world and the book port
refuses to play it.  All I get is a stupid error message saying playing
of unfiltered files is not supported.

I think this is absolutely useless especially as it will play the .mp3
files that make up the daisy book audio anyway.


Many thanks
