Jackie,I don't know that I would use either the Plextalk or Linio for making pro recordings. I might buy one of them on approval just to test it out.I'd be useing the Olympus ls-100 or a Sound Devices machine, but the SD stuff is in a totally different price bracket, smile.

Hi Steve Yes, I agree that you wouldn't want to use the VRS for serious, professional recordings. It is great for quickly being able to take notes though. The Plextalk and Linio both score much higher in the recording department.

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.

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.

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.Email: m.wilsher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:m.wilsher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>my blog<file:///C:\Documents%20and%20Settings\User\My%20Documents\My%20Pictures\digital%20photos\bear%20on%20back,%20paws%20up.jpg> http://bigpawedbear.livejournal.com/ <http://bigpawedbear.livejournal.com/>follow me on Twitter:www.twitter.com/BigPawedBear <http://www.twitter.com/BigPawedBear><file:///C:\Documents%20and%20Settings\User\My%20Documents\My%20Pictures\digital%20photos\cute%20polar%20bear%20on%20back,%20hind%20feet%20up.jpg> personal Website:http://www.martin-wilsher.co.uk <http://www.martin-wilsher.co.uk>** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
