It's important to remember that NLS. didn't plan to be releasing their books
on mass so soon. When it's time they'll be providing their players to us
for our listening pleasure.

Part of the problem is that, as I tried explaining yesterday, the audio

can't support the audio format, all the keys in the world will do you no
good.
