[gui-talk] free daisy player

[Joel Deutsch]

Albert,

I don't understand. Now, I should say up front that I don't use a Daisy 
player in order to access files either from the NLS BARD program nor 
anything I read on the NFB Newsline site. But I don't know which of these 
you are actually referring to, below, although you do specify NLS in your 
message.

But I just don't know what you're talking about. I've never been charged a 
fee of any sort, nor issued any sort of key, whatever that is, for either of 
these services. Could you or someone tell me what it is I'm not 
understanding, here, and what it has to do with Daisy, and what that has to 
do with whether Freedom Scientific has decided to give away their FS Reader 
soon? My head is spinning. I can make no sense of this.

Presently NLS says their publishers keep the bar raised on player
accessibility.  This is how they justify charging use $10 for each user key
and why their files can't just be played on a computer.

Lets not kid ourselves that its a free daisy player, you can't download
it for a computer without JAWS, or run on another Mobile platform.  What
we should be doing however, is expressing that this player should be
recognized and made legal for NLS and RFB DTB(s).  The concept that NLS
books must only be played on "special" devices is simply crazy, outdated
thinking that does NOT, in any way represent the wishes of the public
they are supposed to be serving.
