Hi,

This really depends on how the DAISY book has been produced.  Mostly, though, 
most files are named in numerical order according to 
section.

Usually, in a DAISY book, you will find several file formats.  To briefly 
summarise:
* MP3 - Audio Content
* HTML - Text Content
* GIF, JPG - Pictures, part of Text Content
* SMIL, DTD, ENT, XML - Control/Synchronisation Information

Most of the time, if a fully featured DAISY book was produced which had five 
short chapters, the file list would look something 
like:
* cp01.htm
* cp01.mp3
* cp01.smil
* cp02.htm
* cp02.mp3
* cp02.smil
* cp03.htm
* cp03.mp3
* cp03.smil
* cp04.htm
* cp04.mp3
* cp04.smil
* cp05.htm
* cp05.mp3
* cp05.smil
* er_book_info.xml
* master.smil
* ncc.html
* smil10.dtd
* xhtml1-transitional.dtd
* xhtml-lat1.ent
* xhtml-special.ent
* xhtml-symbol.ent
- obviously, this is not a definitive file list - some books will contain fewer 
or more files than this list, the file names may be 
different, etc.  Hopefully, though, that gives you an idea just how many files 
there are in a DAISY book.

Finally, some publishers give their files completely random names, and so they 
do not list in numerical order. Using the five 
chapters example, look at the following file names:
* 04807.mp3
* 03785.mp3
* 84077.mp3
