Like Pele in another mesage, I also find nothing to object to in the Streams file structure.


The removal of the ability to plug in external drives does seem a backward step to me.? I am guessing that the new Stream will plug into a PC or Mac and the internal memory be seen as a sort of virtual drive.


I cannot really understand the proliferation of apps to listen to radio, at least as far as simple streaming goes.? BBC Sounds is something of an exception and its rather all singing, all dancing interface is designed to get people exploring what the Beeb has to offer.? All well and good, except I already know what's on offer from our still treasured national radio provider - in spite of a rather crass approach by those pushing Sounds and indulging yet again in alienating older Listeners.? I want part of Sounds to be more like moving from an old style radio with presets in stead of the "Look at Me!" shouting interface that's Sounds.


Finally, on Podcasts, I did put the question to the Mosen at Large feature on whether the new stream would be able to "stream" podcats rather than having to download them to listen.? One thing the Blind Shell Classic does along wit the option to download a podcast.

The other down side that has always been the case with Streams, is the folder structure, it is bizarre. It should have one folder called Daisy, not $VR Anything, then the rest it should be able to read any audible media in any folder, such as MP3 files.

For me, that daft folder structure has always let the Stream down.

With other Daisy players, I won¡¯t name them here, they are not so rigid about the folder structure, except for the Daisy folder.

All the best

Not necessary very much louder, but the sound is much better, crisper. Everyone that has tried it said it sounded much better.

And yes if you put files on an SD card or the internal memory in the proper folder ($VRText,$VRDTB, etc) it will see them!

However, we no longer support reading external sources like a USB stick. You'd have to copy the files from a stick to the internal memory or an SD card and insert it.
