No, you have to make it an mp3 to use another synthesizer.
By the way, I am changing the subject to Rob's . . . since it was Rob
Meredith who did the BookPort II talk.

Does this mean that you don't have to change a file to mp3 to use your
favorite synthesized voice? If so, that is great because it would save much
space. I have used other voices but have had to convert the files to mp3 to
do so. Perhaps I'm not using the latest software.
