Hi Rich, I was speaking specifically of a book which we had purchased from APH, Verbal View of Windows XP. This CD contains all of the MP3 files, plus, as far as I can tell, BRF and HTML files as well.
This is why I was unsure as to whether it was possible to copy both the audio and the other supporting files simultaneously.
Thanks.

I am basing my response on what you've written, but in order to be certain that my answer makes sense, I need to ask a question. How do you know that the Daisy files in question contain both text and audio? The majority of the Daisy files currently being produced in the United States are either text or audio, but not both. For example, the files available from Bookshare are text only, while the files available from RFB&D are audio only. Therefore, in most instances, you are either going to get text or audio and not both.

Hi, just a quick question regarding which files to transfer when transfering a DAISY book. I had initially thought that if you transfered the OPF file to the bookport, the spoken audio plus the HTM or BRF file would also be

transfered automatically.
I find that only the spoken audio files are transfered, without the
accompanying BRF or other supported files.

Must they be done in a separate transfer?
Thanks a lot.
