Hello:

Any audio files you send to the Book Port will have to be 16 bit, as
the software has prompted you.  The recorded memoes are handled
differently, so that is why they are lower.

When transferring Daisy 2.02 books, you want to transfer the file with
the "ncc.html" extension.  Note that we do not support Daisy 2.0.  Daisy
3.0 would transfer the OPF file.  By transferring these specific files,
then you'll get all of the correct audio.  Also, if the files are
variable bit rate files, they will not play.

  Hello Everyone!
 
 The problem that I am facing since I got the Book Port device is that
I could not hear the voice of any .wav or .mp3 files on the Book Port
device. By pressing "5" shows that the file is being played.
 
 When transferring any 8-bit Mono audio file from PC to the Book Port
device through the Book Port Software gives the error "Only 16-bit PCM
uncompressed wave files are supported."
 
 Interestingly the recorded file that the Book Port device generates in
Memo folder is also 8-bit Mono file but its voice is easily heard when
played. The file recorded by the Book Port device has the following
specifications.
 
 Bit Rate-88kbps
 Audio sample size-8-bit
 Channels-1-(mono)
 Audio sample rate-11-kHz
 Audio format-PCM 
   
  Secondly the Book  Port device does not play the Daisy 2 and 3 books
with audio. The Daisy 3 books without audio are properly played. But the
Daisy 2 books without audio are not properly played. I use the Book Port
Software to transmit the files from PC to Book Port device.
   
  If anyone can guide me to play the audio files on the device and to
help me to play Daisy 2 books on the device, it will be appreciated.
   
  Zubair Younas.
