Caroline, I completely agree with you about your feature request. After all how
can you jump to a position in a book if you don't know where you are at the
moment.
Cheers
Alex

Hello Barbara,
I've only recently got an N82 which is what I'm using to listen to my first
Daisy book, so I'm not really qualified to talk about how much battery life
Daisy2Go uses yet, although I was glad to read Alex's comment that it doesn't
have much effect.
I'm about halfway through my first RNIB Daisy book and can easily imagine
listening to entire novels on the phone as the Daisy programme basically
behaves just like an accessible MP3 player. The only feature I would like to
see added is a way to tell how far through a book you currently are and how
much time there is remaining, but apart from that, and the rather jittery
playback in non-Daisy files which I reported earlier, I think Daisy2Go is a
programme I will be using quite a lot.
Caroline.

Hi Caroline
Would you listen to a whole book like a novel on the phone? And if so, what
phone are you using and how sore is it on the battery?

I've also used Daisyfy if I want to speed up the playback of some MP3 files.
I've found this to work quite well, although the playback can be a bit
jittery in places. I don't experience this problem when playing back Daisy
files, so I wonder whether it's a problem with the Daisyfy part of the
program. If I stop the file and then re-start it a couple of times, the
jitter usually goes away, but I've experienced it on more than one MP3, so
don't think it's a problem with the file itself.
On the whole, I think Daisy2Go is an excellent addition to Talks.
Caroline.

Hi Barbara,
Daisy-Fy means to make MP3 files navigable. A bit like making a playlist.
You can put the files in any order then hit play.
All the best
Steve

Hi Steve
Got the second one working. Not sure if this was a factor, but the first
book which would not play I copied from a folder on the computer into which
it had been loaded from the disc. The second book which played I loaded onto
the phone directly from the CD.
Thanks for your help.
Ps What exactly is DAISYIFY and what does it do? Sorry if I spelt that
wrong, I just wrote it as it sounds.
