Keith,

I can answer some of them and speculate on others.

1. yes you can use standard   cdr blanks. However, although you can play
non daisy mp3 files stored on a CDr on  the ptr2  you need to understand
that any mp3 recordings made on the ptr2 will be in daisy format.  You
can always pull the resulting mp3 files out using a  computer but they
will  always be saved with the daisy housekeeping files in a folder.
One for each title.

2. forward and rewind certainly work for daisy mp3.  I have never
actually listened to a straight up mp3 file but I expect it is the same.

3. yes direct access album track navagation works well

4. anything recorded to cf on the  plextalk can be copied to cdr or cd
audio  depending on its format and orgin.  I have never  attempted this
with files put on a cf card from another rsource.

5. yes, I am currently using 8gb and 16gb cf cards 

6. audio quality of the  speaker is very good.  Not excellent with lost
of lows and highs but voices sound clear and warm and music is
listenable although not very  loud.

Subject: PTR2 Questions


Hello,

    I am considering purchasing a PTR2, and I have a few questions.

    1.  If I record in MP3 format, can I use regular computer CDS?  From
what I have read, the only time I am required to use music CDS is
when I record in wave format.

    2.  If I am listening to MP3 files, does the fast forward and
rewind work the same way it does when listening to a daisy book?

    3.  I believe the manual says that when listening to a music CD
you can go directly to a particular track by using its number.
For example, if you want to listen to track 18.  Does this work well?

    4.  If for some reason, my computer isn't available or isn't close
at hand, can I copy files from a CF card to a regular computer CD
using the PTR2?

    5.  The manual doesn't refer to any card size larger than 2GB.  Is
this the maximum card size?

    6.  I know it's difficult to describe sound, but how would you
describe the audio of the internal speaker?  For example, how does
it compare to our NLS C-1 players?

    Thanks to everyone in advance for any information.


Keith
