I am aware that there is a problem with the Daisy audio format Bookshare
books such that they are causing the NLS DTBM to malfunction when one
attempts to play them in that device. I have not experienced that
problem until now because the only Bookshare book I had on the drive
that I use with the DTBM was one that I downloaded before the problem
began. I just finished that book this morning and so it was time to
download another. It has been a little while since the problem was
mentioned on either this list or the BARD Talk list, so I was hoping it
had been resolved. Once I got it on my drive I was not ready to start
reading it immediately, but I was ready to test it immediately. The
first thing I did was to try to navigate through the level one
navigation points. I got through several of them. They appeared to be
preliminary material like the introduction and the title page, but when
I came to what I suppose was the main body of the book my DTBM began to
reboot. Because this is a thirty-two gig thumb drive that takes about
six minutes of beeping to reboot I did not wait around to see if my
place was lost. I just reinserted the drive back into my computer and
moved the book to my audio+podcasts folder. I tested it again and it
appears to work in that folder. I know that I will get the legaliese at
the beginning of each file and I know that navigation is lost this way,
but this is just a novel that I do not expect to do a lot of navigating
in and I can just put up with the legal admonishments every so often
even if I would prefer not to. However, I would really prefer having it
where I am accustomed to having it on my drive and for it to function in
the way to which I am accustomed. So could one of the staff who monitors
this list please weigh in and let us know if there is an estimated time
that this will be resolved, if there is any progress being made, and
what caused the problem in the first place?
