Pleasure and I hope you enjoy it. The utility does seem to like mp3 files which are fairly simply named. Maybe bulk rename will come in useful. I have found that it works very well with a folder of mp3 files created by Booksplit. I had a book in a single mp3 file, which was split by book split, created into a daisy book by Daisy Book Generator, and now reads a treat in FS Reader. With a Netbook this is a good system for book reading.

I downloaded DAISY Generator, and on the first couple of runs, it didn't work. It would process the files, then say it had stopped because of too many errors. The errors listed dealt with some problem with each mp3 file that I had copied over from a book. Thinking it might be because these books were purchased, and that there might be some kind of protection mechanism, I tried a series of lectures. It worked great with them. I love the tool, and can think of many excellent applications.
