Hi Jeff,
I'm not entirely sure that I understand your problem here, so please shoot
me down if I've got it wrong.
Firstly, if you are using the PRS to generate your DAISY title, and you wish
to use it on a player other than a Plextalk one that can cope with the
unbuilt book, then you have to run the "Build Book" feature as this
finalises the book for playback on these other types of player. Even if you
are planning to use it on other Plextalk players that can read the unbuilt
books, it is good practice (unless you plan to do more editing) to finalise
the book with the Build Book feature.
I'm not certain of this but it is my belief that when you run the build book
process, it uses a combination of the book Title, the Identifier and the
date and time of the book creation to uniquely recognised the title by all
DAISY players. Hence, when you then play these titles on any DAISY player,
it should allow the playing position to be recognised uniquely for each
book.
If you haven't come across the fields for the identifier, title etc, have a
look under the Options menu and find the item called Book Information.
Hopefully that should sort out your issue.

Yes, one can import MP3 files into the PRS to create a Daisy book. One can
then perform various actions like setting and removing headings, set heading
levels, split, merge and delete phrases, etc.
If I use my Pocket to listen to one of my created daisy books then no
further creation is needed. But, for playing in the NLS DTBM I need to do
the "Build Book" function. But, the NLS DTBM sees all such built books the
same way in terms of remembering last location. So, I'm wonderring if there
is a way to have each Daisy book created with a unique identifier
recognizable by the DTBM.

Are you saying you can make an MP3 file on another device? And run it in the
Plextalk software on the computer to make the book?

I will often take MP3 files and run them through the Plextalk PRS
software to get better navigation for playing on my NLS DTBM.
However, when I leave off in the middle of one title and switch to
another I am placed at the same location in the new title as I left
in the previous title. Of course, I can place specific bookmarks to
work around this. But, I'm wondering if there is a way of making
each title unique in the way the NLS DTBM sees these Daisy books.
Thanks,
Jeff
