If so, what player are you using? I've tried listen-up, iduna, and daisyconsole all with failing results. either I get seg faults all over the place or the player just sits there and does nothing. I like the looks of listen-up the best but it hasn't played a single book I've tried it with. I'm mainly dealing with the 2.02 format with audio files and some books I've created using dtbmaker perl scripts. I took a look at the daisy player in emacspeak but that apparently only works with bookshare books but I didn't have much luck with it either on one book I tried on it. Any ideas? Thanks. -- HolmesGrown Solutions The best solutions for the best price! http://holmesgrown.ld.net/
