and some libraries are lending victor reader streams. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andy" <musicproandy@xxxxxxxxx> To: <icon-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2008 8:21 PM Subject: [icon-discuss] Re: sort of ot but braille plus icon related The only daisy player you need is your PDA, either the braille plus or icon. So basically, you need: -- A NLS membership. That is, you're already receiving tapes, or braille books or magazines from NLS. -- You also need a daisy player that supports NLS, not all of them do. Your braille plus or icon can do this. The vr stream can too, and so can a player that they lend, but that's just not worth it if you only have a braille plus or icon. That's all you need. Hth.
