Hi Fil and list:
The only file you need to send is either *.opf or ncc.html. This will cause
the audio book range dialogue to open. The first field allows you to select
the beginning point. Tab to the second field, which allows you to select the
end point. Finally, tab to the send button and press it. The book will go
unless RNIB is incorporating DRM.
Cheers,
Dave

Subject: [bookport] RNIB DAISY books on BP
Hi
I tried and failed to copy an RNIB DAISY book from their CD to my BP. I put
it in a directory and used send (which is working with other file types).
I copied the RNIB DAISY book in its entirety.
BP didn't like most of the files which do have strange extensions which I
assume are associated with the DAISY format.
Anyone got any comments or suggestions as how to proceed please?
BTW I love my BP now :-) But wish it had tone controls which are useful in
mp3 audio books!
I was sat in the hospital today: read some revision notes from a textfile,
listen to some audio book and listen to some music (yeah I was there a long
time!).
As I say, could do with tone control even if its like cheap MP3 players, ie
different settings and its a pity that an item shipped for a blind person
has such rubbish earplugs.
However, I'd recommend Sennheiser PXC 250 noise reducing headphones. I've
got a Creative Labs set which are equally brilliant and about 40% of the
price but a little bulkier (still folding).
