Hi Steve
The DM7 was the Olympus I bought a few months ago and couldn't fully access.
When I went into each folder, none of the filenames spoke. I believe
another list member worked out why this was the case, but I dropped back to
the DM5 as I don't use it for DAISY books.
I did like the DM7 though other than that.
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

Hi,
Also worth looking at the Olympus DM7. This is the most accessible Olympus
I've seen and has a great Daisy player.
Disclaimer: we sell it, but I'm also a user.
What it doesn't have though is Internet Radio, so if this is important to
you, then the Olympus is not for you. It does have very high quality built
in stereo mics though, which neither of the other Daisy players have. So it
makes a nice all-round device for recording and playback.
All the best
Steve

So all in all, are people thinking so far that the Plextalk pocket is best?
If so, where can I purchase the case and the player in one place?

Hi,
My other criticism of the Stream is that when you record using its built in
mic, you get a high pitched whine. It's probably a hardware thing as it has
never been fixed with firmware upgrades, but it's horrible.
All the best

Hi Martin
I personally prefer the Victor Reader Stream. It has to be one of my very
favourite gadgets to be honest, I can't fault it at all. I read books at
fairly high speeds, play Audible content on it, and can listen to Internet
radio or podcasts if I want to. The keys are nice and friendly, battery
life is good, and I bought the leather case for added protection. My only
criticism, and it isn't that big a deal, is that when it reaches a certain
volume, you get this stupid message about not listening to it at high
volume. I am told the US firmware does not contend with that aggro, and
goes louder anyway.
All in all, a great little gizmo. I prefer it over the Plextalk or Linio
because the Plextalk takes longer to boot up if not in stand-by mode. It
has a much superior recording quality to the Victor as well.
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

Hi all.
I am looking for recommendations on which playter to get.
One is more expencive than the other, but the functions seem to be similar.
It seems from the rnib website, it seems the Plextalk Pocket DAISY player
comes with no case, the victor reader stream comes with silicon one.
I play usb dasy, sd card daisy and audible content mostly. Both players can
play usb sticks and sd cards.
Basically after the demise of my ptx1 and milestone, I want one player to
rule them all. I am using usb sticks from RNIB now, and any daisy discs I
buy will be transferred to pc then to stick or sd card.Any thoughts pro or
against each player? Thanks.?
Hope to hear from you soon.
From Martin.
