It seems as though audiobookstand.com only produces the CEA/APA standard which evidently is a standard for creating audio books on CD. I don't know if these are DAISY books, or whether a DAISY player or the BN will play these. Any thoughts? Rusty

You could check out www.audiobookstand.com where their audio books on CD incorporate the DAISY format, among others. You would need to transfer the contents of the CD to a storage card on your mPower. Their books are for sale commercially from the Web site. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rusty Perez" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Braillenote List'" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, September 04, 2006 11:40 AM Subject: RE: [Braillenote] Send a message to Humanware!!! Jim, which daisy books are available for playing? Please point me to a source of DAISY books, for purchase or not, and I may use the player. I challenge any one to point out a healthy source of DAISY books. I don't think they exist.

Hello all, I personally think the message should be sent to RFB and D not to Humanware! I think a standard will be set for these Daisy books whether RFB and D goes along with it or not. I for one want the new file advantages that 7.2 offers and if I do indeed have another SMA, I'm going to use it! I'd rather the M-power do a graceful job in handling these RFB and D files rather than do a lousy job of it. For now, I'll enjoy what Daisy books I can play till RFB and D books can be played! Sorry! I can't get on that band wagon!
