Hi Jason: In order to play Daisy books from RFB&D, you'll need to have an approved player. Currently they are supporting Humanware's Victor reader Stream, and other Victor Reader players. This is due to publishers ristrictions due to Copywright law.
What happens is that through a technology called Digital Rights management, D.R.M. for short, your player gets stamped with a key, this is done currently by purchasing a software package from RFB&D for $20. Only players with the D.R.M. key stamped on them will allow the Daisy files to play. D.R.M. is also used in Books from N.L.S. and Audible.com. You can find the controversial explanations of D.R.M. for music and other Copywright texts and matterials on the Ellectronic Frontier Foundation's web site at: www.eff.org. I think one day, RFB&D may support other players, but for now Humanware has the dominating market. I also recall that you can ship your Plextalk Players to RFB&D to get the key installed as well. Hope this helps. Jeff At 08:29 AM 2/14/2008, you wrote: >Hi all, >I have a few daisy books from RFB & D. Does anyone know how to get these >books onto an MP3 player?
