It doesn't have to. RFBD offers all their books in DAISY as well as

Download and unzip the file. Inside there is both an AppleScript and  
Application version. Run either one and select the .rfbd file that is  
downloaded from RFBD website when you request to download a book. It  
will then start up a download job in the background and place the  
downloaded book into your Downloads directory of your home directory.

I can take quite some time for the download to finish depending on the  
size of the book.

 is downloaded from RFBD website when you request to download a  
 book. It will then start up a download job in the background and  
 place the downloaded book into your Downloads directory of your home  
 directory.

 I can take quite some time for the download to finish depending on  
 the size of the book.

 RFBD offers a download manager for windows in order to download

 daisy books.  Do they have one for the mac yet?  I have not heard  
 that
 they have a mac compatible download manager.  So, is this program
 provided by this link made so that one can bypass the rfbd download
 manager in order to download their daisy books?

 I'm confused as to exactly what this program will do and how it
 works.  I'm even confused as to if it's software or an apple  
 script or
 what.  LOL!  I don't even know what an apple script is.  :)

 Also, is RFBD offered outside the U.S.?

 Thanks,

 Hi justin,

 RFBD offers their books in DAISY as well as protected WMA, and

 can connect a Victor Stream or Book Sense to the Mac, so you can

 RFBD books without needing protected WMA.

MacOS RFBD Downloader

2009-09-14 Thread Greg Kearney

This AppleScript application will ask you to find a .rfbd file and  
will then download that book into your downloads directory in the  
background. You will find your completed book in your downloads  
directory of your home directory. If you have Growl installed you will  
get a notification when the process is completed.

NOTE: This application will quit after it starts the download. The  
Download itself will continue and may take a considerable amount of  
time depending on the title and the speed of your internet connection.

Re: MacOS RFBD Downloader

2009-09-14 Thread Justin Harford

Right I was about to say the same thing.  This is great that we have a  
way to download RFBD books to our macs, but still annoying that we  
haven't got a way to play them.

Do you have any suggestions Greg?

This is a really great idea.
