Jamie: What do you mean by "Edit all the audio in whatever way suits
your purposes for whatever program you are creating." This is
getting so complicated! Can't I just edit with Sound Forge? I'm
sorry, but I still don't understand. I thought that when you export
to audio files, you get one large edited file, according to the way
in which you edited the original Daisy file. Now I understand I
would get separate files for each section. This is very confusing.

Daveed,
Basically forget using the page and group settings if you don't want to make use of them within a DAISY end product. Stick entirely to using the heading key to mark locations of interest.
Once you've finished your recording on the PTR2, finalise the CD and import the DAISY title into the PRS software. Your heading markers will be used to determine the sections in the imported DAISY title.
Next edit all the audio in whatever way best suits your purposes for the programme you are creating.
Once all editing is complete, use the "Audio Export" feature to generate a different DAISY title in which the chunks of audio, that relate to each section, will be reorganised so that you end up with a unique audio file for each section.
You can then access the audio files and use them in other editing software if required, in the knowledge that the audio has been tidied up to be how you want it.
Hope this helps.
Jamie

So, what do I do, Michael, with files I've recorded on the PTR2 where I've marked various headings and pages, to indicate possible sound bites? Must I then use the PRS to find and isolate them, and then move to Sound Forge? I still haven't received an answer to my basic quewstion from anyone here, even though I think I understand the overall picutre somewhat better. I'm on tight deadlines and don't have lots of time to pla around with all kinds of software. So what's the procedure these possible cuts and isolate them? I assume I should forget about using the Page or Group keys on the PTR2, since since using the PRS Audio Export probably won't help me find those marks; but I assume also that when using the Heading Key on the PTR2, and then the PRS Audio Export, I'll end up with separate audio files for each section. So far, niether IRTI in the US, nor Plextor Japan, hasn't assisted me. Plextor USA a\has washed its hand entirely of the Plextalk products. I urge people in the USA to contact Plextor USA's public relations outlet asking Plesxtor to actively support their Plextalk products. It is unbelieveable to me that Plextor would decide to provide absolutely no support whatsoever for their own products. A --DaveedInterested persons should write \ marcom@xxxxxxxxxxx
