Chela, see if it will play in its own folder without deleting the DAISY
files and without putting it in audio+podcasts. I saw a post earlier today
on the Stream list that seemed to indicate that maybe they have the DAISY
markup working now for the mp3 books. Let us know.

Can someone like possibly Ann Parsons help me out before I blow a double g
on trumpet, and you really don't want to hear the note I assure you! I
downloaded Kind Of Blue: The Making Of The Miles Davis Masterpiece from
bookshare in mp3 format and copied all the contents in a folder I created on
the thumb drive called audio+podcasts. After inserting and waiting for load
time, I get "Please Respect" repeatedly! I'm doing what was recommended on
the FAQ on the bardtalk.com page. Something is missing then.

Barb, someone on the Stream list indicated that her latest Bookshare mp3
download played successfully in the $VRDTB folder. That would seem to
indicate that they've corrected the problems with the DAISY markup with the
new service. is the DAISY working with your latest downloads? 

  

Not requiring a password to unzip seems like an oversight to me.

I just wanted to say that I requested 2 books to be downloaded in the MP3
format.  I requested them shortly after noon CDT today.  I am happy to
report that I had them downloaded and on my NLS player before 1:00 this
afternoon.  I am so glad to see that the time to get the links for
downloading has lessened that much. 

  

I did, however, notice one thing different.  Usually, when I unzip the book,
it gives me the message that I need to type my password into the edit field.
I did not receive that message today with either book and was able to
download without typing my password.  Not a big deal but it was kind of nice
not having to type that password in again.

Hi, 

Is anyone having trouble downloading BRF files?  When I try to download them
I get stuck on the "save as" function.
