But that program seemed to work some times but seg faults a lot on me. It amazes me that Daisy being an "Open" standard has little or no support in the Linux world. I don't understand the specs well enough to try and get in there and shape one of these readers up but it still bugs me just the same. I had listen-up working on some demo material from over five years ago but none of the new stuff I throw at it works at all! Listen-up has what I think to be the best looking curses based UI but nothing plays these days . Guess I'll sit tight and wait for my new Victor Reader Stream to come in the mail next week or so.
