Hi.
I believe you can record radio stations on both the stream and the sense
player. I don't know if it works with online streams, but it should work
with FM. I'm happy to be corrected if this is not the case.
Cheers,
Mo.

I just feel tempted to try the Sense Player and if I am able to use my 1 TB card all the better.
Why can’t we record radio station though?
How do you get things like Audible to work? Do you have to download some Android apps and can you do this directly to the player?
I totally agree that the Stream 3 an Sense player are in competition: I might have to keep both.

The SensePlayer actually takes a micro SD card up to 1tb, though I have not tried one that size, mine is a 256gb.
In fairness, I have not experienced the problems Ian has with his. Once I understood how the DAISY navigation structure worked, I found my books held their position, and I also have multiple voices installed on my unit. Granted they are all Vocalizer which I am not a fan of, but I have installed Serena, Malcolm and Karen.
There is no doubt there have been bugs, and probably will continue to have, but then what hardware and software doesn’t? Martin says the VRS 3 has a few obvious bugs as well, one of which seems to be that podcasts don’t always show up in your feed list. He has to completely reboot the device to get the list of existing episodes which is major given this unit has been around in one guise or another for 15 years or so.
Hims and HumanWare will naturally deny this, but I think the two devices are in competition with one another, so were both released at roughly the same time, bugs and all! 😊
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

Mandy, I have returned the Sense player I bought. During the learning and set-up process I discovered two major failings. One was related to the utility for loading alternative TTS voices to the one that comes as default. On the player I had this did not work. The Daisy player also failed to hold my place in a book when the player went into stand-by (sleep) mode and when I went back to the player it had closed. re-opening it took me back to its explorer file list and when I opened the same book it started back at the beginning.
I am now awaiting delivery of a Stream 3. My understanding is that the Sense takes a micro SD card up to 256GB.

Hi All.
I have recently purchased the Stream 3 and in some ways really
like it but keep wondering about the Sense player but am hearing
that many people are returning it.
A friend of mine says that most of the extras like Audible don’t
work and also that yu can’t record the digital stations: and what
is the largest capacity card yu can use?
I have a 1TB card for my Stream 3 but there is a chance I would
need to keep the Stream 3 as well.
Any thoughts woud be appreciated.
Mandy.
