That was very interesting Maureen.  It does not give the cost.  Have heard a 
lot of people talk about it but I have several DAISY players so may give it a 
miss though it sounds very tempting.  

Of interest is the fact that now Talks 4.0 has a built in d2go DAISY player so 
again one can transfer DAISY books from PC to phone and listen on the move.  My 
N96 has the potential for 32 GB, currently 16 GB with a slot for a 16 GB card.

    Hi all

     

    I have a Victor Reader Stream. I ripped several cd's to my computer's hard 
drive. I then transferred the files using a usb connection to my victor reader. 
I am unable to play the music on the Victor Reader. Has anyone else experienced 
the same problem? Any help or advice anyone can give is appreciated.

     

    Regards

    Gavin
