The only daisy player you need is your PDA, either the braille plus or icon.
So
basically, you need:
-- A NLS membership. That is, you're already receiving tapes, or braille
books or
magazines from NLS.
-- You also need a daisy player that supports NLS, not all of them do. Your
braille plus
or icon can do this. The vr stream can too, and so can a player that they
lend, but that's just not worth
it if you only have a braille plus or icon.
That's all you need.
Hth.
