Vic, I don't know if this has anything to do with your problem, but there is something strange about how the BookSense handles audio files on DAISY books. I have noticed that it seems to read to the end of NLS books, but that when I get to the end of a book, the BookSense reports that 20 seconds of so remain. This varies with the book. In the case of the NLS books, this is not a problem, but I don't think I've ever seen the time remaining get down to zero. If there is some sort of mis-tracking, it would seem this could result in cutting off the ends of some files.

When I take the MP3 files and put them under the Audio Folder on the BookSense, the entire MP3 file is played. When I run the DAISY Book Generator then copy the folder into the DAISY folder on the BookSense, often the last five seconds or so is cut off for each MP3 audio file. >I don't have any other digital audio player so I have not determine if this >problem is BookSense specific or if it is a DAISY Book Generator problem. >One thing I do know for certain is that if I download an MP3 audio book >directly into a folder under the DAISY folder on the BookSense then run the DAISY Book Generator on it, the BookSense does not play the book. I have to download it on to my PC first, run the DAISY Book Generator, then copy the folder into the DAISY folder on the BookSense for it to work properly. >My work-around is not to generate a DAISY book and just use the Audio Player >on the BookSense. Which is OK for when I get books through Overdrive, but is not should I get a DAISY book on a CD or other form of media to copy on to my BookSense. >Vic Pereira >Chief Informatics Office | Bureau de l'informatique >Small Business and Marketplace Services | Services axAcs sur le marchAc et les >petites entreprises >Industry Canada | Industrie Canada >400 St Mary Avenue, Winnipeg MB R3C 4K5 | 400, avenue St Mary, Winnipeg MB R3C >4K5 >[email protected] >Telephone | TAclAcphone 204-983-0653 >Facsimile | TAclAccopieur 204-984-4205 >Government of Canada | Gouvernement du Canada >If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only. > If your reply would benefit others on the list andyour message is related to >GW Micro or the BookSense, then please consider sending your message to [email protected] so the entire list will receive it. >To manage your subscription to gw-booksense, visit: >http://www.gwmicro.com/listserv If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
