I believe he is based on the subject line. However, the question is
somewhat artificial. NLS will have its digital audio books available next
year and folks likely want a machine that can access them as well as RFB
books. Unfortunately, NLS uses DAISY version 3.0 while RFB uses DAISY 2.2.
The difference being is that with version 2.2 players had to be initialized
and authorized to play DAISY books wile with version 3.0 the books are
unlocked when they are shipped to the end user, similar to today's analog
system where an end user's device needs to be individually authorized. the
book Port and perhaps the older victor Readers may not be able to play the
NLS books. Humanware has already introduced a next generation player and a
next generation Book Port is expected within the next six months or so.
the new book Port will play DAISY 3.0 books from NLS.

Hi,
Are you talking about daisy?
Yes both players will support Daisy as well as some other proprietary
formats.

Subject: RFBD: Victor Reader vs. Bookport
I've been following the discussion--(I think it was on this list)--about
portable media players other than the iPod, that can play different file
types.
I get the impression -that the iPod cannot play the protected format used
by
Recording for the Blind Dyslexic in the production of its digitized
audio
books. I also get the impression Bookport will play these. Will Victor
Reader play RFBD material as well?
