Hi Iain, at first: Great that you developed a daisy player for the Mac. That makes the Mac even more interesting.
In my opinion it's not absolutely necessary that it remains free. More important is that it's a little bit easier and more reliable in its functions. For me it is always a bit difficult to navigate backwards. As far as I remember it is necessary to press buttons to navigate. But to have just short cuts would be more afficiant. I tested it a few months ago. I'm not sure wether I remember correctly. I'm also willing to pay for a new version of Olearea. Aspecially when it was possible to edit daisy books or even to record with it. We might need an equivalent of the PRS for the Mac.
