actually i would have to disagree with you on the player aspect for the pocket you need to know what you are probley doing but as a player alacian, you can do much more on the plextalk pocket then you can with the other players/ recorders. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Allison Mervis" <alliso...@gmail.com> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Thursday, December 24, 2009 5:51 AM Subject: Re: victor Reader Stream V Book Sense
Oh the pocket is great as a recorder, but from what I've seen, it's not much to write home about as a player. I would go with the BookSense. Navigation is a lot more intuitive than the stream, and you can record in both mp3 and wave format. I personally also love the fact that I can play files which I download from iTunes.
