High Chris,
Here is what's wrong with the concept you described.
Lets say hypothetically that you had to put your book down for one reason or
another, you go back to it later but you can't remember how the story line
came about.
This is why I feel that jump from chapter to chapter feature is needed.
I am willing to bet that I'm not the only one that feels this way.
If you can't move back and fourth freely, it defeats the perpis of reading
any book.
My best regards.
John.

The same principle would work, but instead of splitting the tracks with an
audio editor they're using the DAISY standard to mark the different
chapters and headings. I haven't done this myself, or used any of the
DAISY tools, but this is still a manual effort, and NLS has to cut over to
doing this for all of the new books as well as convert all of the existing
books over to this newDAISY digital standard. Furthermore, to keep patrons
like me happy, they have to do all of this as soon as possible. Therefore,
they're choosing not to put this effort into all of their existing books.

Hello Sunshine,
I could be a little off here, but wouldn't it be some way for them to
seperate those chapters?
I'm asking because, I can use audio editors to seperate the tracks on an
old cassette and or record LP.
Wouldn't the same prencible be applied to the books that are on the Bard
Talk website?

when you listen to the book, they will have an announcement that tells
you
that the book was taken from analog tapes.

Hello Chris and others,
If I'm downloading older books that were adapted from cassettes, how
will I
know this?
I'm asking because there isn't any think on the Bard Talk website to
indicate this.
John.

You happened to download one of those books which were converted from
cassette and didn't have many markers. I have seen them work all ways.

Hello List Members,
I have a couple of questions about the NLS books.
My questions are, the books that I get in the mail on NLS cartridges,
I
can use the previous and next buttons to move from chapter to chapter.
But within the books that I download from the Bard Talk website, using
the next button gets you from the beginning to the end of the book.
Why is it that I can move from chapter to chapter in the books that
comes
to me in the mail?
And, why can't I move from chapter to chapter in the books that I
download from the Bard Talk website?
Thinks in advance.
My best regards.
John.
