Hi Christopher and Andy,
Yeah, you're both right. As well, Real Player can play Audible files. That's
why I wander if there's a codec I can download for Real Alternative to play
Audible files? With Windows Media Player, I couldn't even rewind or
fast-forward. Audible Manager is ok, but I didn't like the fact that it
doesn't tell me how far I'm into the Audio file.
I'm new to using Audible format and I've almost never used Daisy format, but
it seems that with using Daisy books one has full control over what he's
listening to, i.e. jump between chapters, paragraphs and bookmarks, control
over the speed rate etc. But I've no idea how widely material is available
in Daisy format.
Any thoughts any one?
With many thanks,
Amro
