Hi Alison,
Can I also bring up the technical point that the download service don’t get
Daisy books, they only get very poor quality MP3 files, and so navigation is
impossible and the sound quality is very poor.
With the higher speed of Broadband now, I’m sure you could improve on this and
let us download full Daisy content?
All the best
Steve

Hi All
I just want to say that we’re here and listening! A very live topic, so really
appreciate the feedback. We know we’ll be ingesting lots more audio content
from more publishers over the coming months, so we are working with our friends
at the DAISY Consortium on reviewing how we do it and whether we can improve
the experience/reduce the annoying bits, whilst demonstrating our gratitude to
publishers.
Regards

Hi all.
All part of modern commerce I’m afraid, but I cannot see why the title of the
book should be omitted. How are these books from HC listed? I haven’t come
across any of them yet?
Cheers,
Mike

Hi Barry
It drives us round the bend as well. Also, these books aren’t DAISY
structured, so we tend to put them in the Other Books folder rather than in the
DTB folder because we can’t get proper navigation there anyway such as amount
of chapter left etc. I do wish RNIB would do something about this gratitude
blurb, the title of any book makes so much more sense than that!
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

Subject: [access-uk] Talking book titles and Harper Collins blurb
Hi all
I get RNIB talking books on pen drive so that I can transfer easy to my Victor
Stream. However, when I do so, any books by Harper Collins do not say the book
title when arrowing through the TB folder. Is there anything I can do so that
I don’t have to listen to that irritating blurb about the RNIB being grateful
to Harper Collins? Don’t get me wrong, I too am grateful, but I’d rather have
the book title.
Thanks in anticipation.
Cheers
Barry
