<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=541051518-15062006><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>At CSU, we are still experimenting with a variety of ways
to have our students access the content of digital talking books, and what
is used tends to depend upon a variety of things, including where the DTB
originated from and the format (DAISY 2 vs.3). Our students also tend to
like the hardware players, and we continue to look at various options for
these. Personally, I tend to like the ghplayer because of its
versatility.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=541051518-15062006><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>Back in March, Robert Beach starting working on an ATHEN
project to compile member reviews of some of the players, and you might
want to contact him to find out about the status of this project. He is on
the list or you could contact him directly: Robert Beach

color=#0000ff size=2>Regarding production, (which we are not currently doing), I
think a prime candidate is the Dolphin software. One of the nicest aspects of
this is that there is great documentation on using this from AHEAD - <FONT
