Hi Tom, the disk I got had the book as one large MP3 file on it read in
a synthetic voice. Can't remember which one it is but someone else named it
in an earlier email, one of the neo-speech voices I think. Anyway, I just
copied the file on to my computer and can either just play it using winamp,
or open it using Studio Recorder which lets me speed it up. I haven't
copied it to my VR Stream, but when I do, I will put in in the other books
directory and it should play fine. Bet it would also work in the podcast
folder as well. Jim WA6EKS

Jim:
Please tell us exactly how you converted Ed's book into a readable format,
and what you are using to read it.
I just got the CD for the book today, and would like to put it on my Victor
Reader Stream if possible.
