What is streamed audio?

Streamed audio books are audio books in Daisy format that are played directly on your PC through your Internet connection (we recommend that you have a broadband Internet connection to use this but some people have tried this through a dial up connection with reasonable results). The books are held on our computers and when you select one to listen to the audio is played over the Internet. When you join the BookStream book club your subscription includes a copy of the NetPLEXTALK software Daisy player. You must install this on your PC and then when you press the play button on your bookshelf the book is automatically played using the NetPLEXTALK player.  more
