It seems like most people are getting away from the stream. I really think I
will have to go with the plextor. I've never been one to go with the
mainstream I like the road less traveled or not traveled at all.
I like hearing everyone's imput. Because I am looking for a good recorder as
well as a book reader.

Hi Folks:
As far as an all around book reader is concerned, I believe that the Stream
is a much more stable device and has features that the other pocket players
do not have, such as AGC. As a podcast player, it is unsurpassed.
The problem with the stream is, however, that the present hardware
configuration has been pretty well maxed out. I believe, for example, that
the present hardware will not be able to play WMA DRM.
Just some thoughts.

Horses for courses.
It depends what you want to do. If recording is mainly what you want to do,
then I personally think the pocket is your best bet. I personally like the
ability to decide whether you want to set your recording volume manually,
which can be an asset if you want a really good recording quality, or use
automatic recording levels. Also the pocket has certain automatic recording
settings for environments like conferences, etc.
And it can play material in different formats as well and .txt and html
files at this stage.
But it is quite possible that the sense can play back more files than the
pocket.
Remember all of these devices are updated by firmware updates which can be
downloaded from the manufacturers' websites so what we may discuss as pros
and cons now may not necessarily be true in say 3 months time!

So now what are the main differences between the book sense and the
plextalk?

I have often wondered why you would have the ability to record in .wav
format and then not have the capibility to set a proper recording level?
Surely if you do not need to set recording levels then mp3 would be
good enough?

Hi: Both units will play NLS books as well as audible.com books. You
can record both wav and MP3 files on the booksense but on the stream
if you want
MP3 files you have to convert them. The Stream already offers RFB&D
support where RFB&D will be available soon on the Sense as soon as
RFB&D add it to their list of Daisy players. If you read a lot of
electronic documents or bookshare books, you probably want the
booksense because of the Kate and Paul voices which are much better to
listen to than the synthesizer on the Stream.
The speaker volume is better on the Sense, if this makes any
difference to you.
Navigation is different on the Booksense, but not hard to learn. From
what I've been hearing, the Stream is going to be adding some new
features soon, but you will have to pay to have them.
Hope this is helpful.

Hello guys,
I've listened to reviews on both the book cents and victor stream.
What kinds of things should I consider when looking at getting either
one or the other? I want to be able to play NLS, Recording For the
Blind books
and MP3s among other things. The book cents is getting the RFB and D
Support. What other things should I consider when looking at these 2
machines? How is the response time between the 2? Any problems with
the 2 machines? Can you record in wave format and stereo? What's the
speed compression like?? Can you speed up music and books on both
machines if you want? Thank you guys for any feedback.
Denny
