Travis,
I'm in favor of katie player. I press l when the speaking and
grinding is surely stopped. No dialog. Instead, I'm using the trial
bersion, I hear no cd loaded. I go on to press command-l and am
presented with choose folder but no dialog.

I'm hoping it's of interest to enough folks, since it's (currently)
the only daisy player for the mac. It is being worked on, but for
the moment, it's what we've got, flaws and all.
But in any case, after Katie player says choose, you need to use your
voice over navigation commands to select the book to open. It's a
standard file dialogue box, so treat it accordingly. Until this time
though, there is nothing on the screen vo can see, so don't bother
hunting for anything until you're selecting a book, it will cause the
reader to misbehave (unfortunately) It does work well once you get it
to behave itself though.
Hope this helps. If you still have trouble, drop a line, and perhaps
I can call to walk you through it.

Travis and all,
If I press l first, I hear no cd mounted. That is fine as I am
trying to get a folder on my hd to come up. If I press command-l,
I can get Katie Player to announce choose folder but there is no
dialog.
We should maybe take this off list.

I had a lot of problems with this at first too. Be sure you wait
until after Katie player finishes talking. If you don't, things
will appear to hang, and I've found no way to get it to behave
after this point. I've tried getting it to produce a bug report,
but since it doesn't crash, it refuses to make one <sigh> So,
nothing to do but be patient. If you're still having trouble, let
me know, and we can try a few more things.On Dec 8, 2005, at 8:34

Kattie player does nothing when you first start it up. Do not try
using vo keys to navigate the screen, there's nothing to see.
After you start Kattie player, wait for it to say it's piece.
(katie player, version xxxxxx) and so on. After it says it's
piece, then if you're loading from cd, just hhit command-l and it
will read the cd, and begin reading the book. If you want to read
from a directory on your hd, then hit the letter L first. This
will switch over to disk mode. After that, you need to hit
command-l to get it to open a dialogue so you can tell it where
the books are. After that, it's the same as if the cd was in,
once you choose a book, it begins reading, and the regular key
commands apply for moving around in the daisy book.
Hope this helps.

Hey there, everyone.
I have KatiePlayer installed on my iBook. I tried to launch it
and I don't get a thing. No speech, nothing. I'm trying to get
it working so I can play RFB&D books. Yes, I have the
registration for all of that, too.
I know I registered it way back when, the files are all there
where they need to be, but something isn't being read or
recognized or whatever, I guess. Anyone got ideas?
