Hey, look for Hank Crawford's From the Heart, which the entire album
costs $6.21 and you will see each track is $.69. Now maybe you don't
like Jazz, but for me, yeah, I love the stuff and that's a good
price. :)

Jenny, most the stuff is older Jazz material. I'd have to dig through

I spend way way way way way too much money at iTunes . Well Not to the

I've never been able to browse music or movies

Yes, you've got it.
I'm not so much complaining about NLS or their service. It is just.
Well the streem is nice and all but it is so so darn expensive. I'd

other features it has other than you can download DTBs on it
Again in defense of NLs.
It is a library, Library content is free. Not downloadable at a cost as
in that of getting to the items. Not offered for a subscription, but
free.
The players are to serve the majority of their readership who are
older, or children, or whatever, and again be

that the audio version of their book is being distributed via the
popular portable and unencumbered mp3 format which can be copied and
used on nearly any device. They would rather hear that the file is in

Hello,
Here is a different prospective.
If a person belongs to Book Share, for example, this is how it works.
You have to be a paying member.
When you download zipped book share files, you have to put in your
login password to unpack the book.
When you read the book, it has your name and

I personally think that the way NLS and RFBD should have gone about
the digital
One thing that would drive NLS to consider computer-based playback
etc. is if consumers of the content put enough pressure. I have not
looked at the law in quite a while, but to the best of my knowledge,
there is nothing in the law that would prevent them from allowing

The Daisy standard is hardly a bizarre format and when made
correctly the books are playable on existing iPods and other such
devices. The issue here is not Daisy the issue is that NLS and to a
lesser degree RFBD have chosen to add digital rights management aka
encryption to their books.
The other thing NLS does is using the AMR codec.

A few points about the NLS system. First off it uses a very heavy
encryption on the books as well as a some what unusual audio format.
At this point in time the NLS has refused to permit the authorization
of computer based playback of their books.
