Listen-up Project/DAISY Playing

[Michael Whapples]

Hello,
I would be interested about this as well, but don't know what the state 
of DAISY players on linux is and I never seem to quite get round to 
having a good look at what is out there.

So what are Linux users using? Do we all find other formats, do we not 
bother about the books which tend to be in DAISY format, have we found a 
good player or is there another reason a good one isn't a well known fact.
