NAME

       daisy-player - player for DAISY Digital Talking Books or Audio-CD's

SYNOPSIS

       daisy-player [directory_with_a_Daisy-structure |
       Daisy_book_in_ZIP_format] [-c cdrom_device] [-d ALSA_sound_device]
       [-n | -y]

DESCRIPTION

       Daisy-player  reads  a  Daisy-CD and plays the audio-files.  DAISY versions 2.02 and 3 are
       currently supported, as well as volumes with multiple books.

       Daisy-player also can play Audio-CD's  and  tries  to  get  CD-information  from  a  cddb-
       database.

       A  list  of items on the Daisy-CD or Audio-CD will appear. Press <ENTER> to start playing.
       When reading of an item has finished, daisy-player will play the next item and the  cursor
       will  automatically  skip  to that item, so that an attached braille-terminal will display
       the name of that item.

SCREEN

       The name and version of this program and the name of the author  will  be  displayed  left
       aligned  at  the  top of the screen. The name of the current loaded book will be displayed
       right aligned.

       The second row of the screen will display the number of pages of the current  loaded  book
       (if  any),  the  current  selected level and the total number of levels, the total playing
       time, the current displayed screen and the total number of screens.

       The next rows will display the title of the item,  the  first  page  of  the  item  within
       brackets  (if  there  are  pages)  and  the  playing  time. Items in higher levels will be
       indented. (Three spaces each level.) When "just playing this item" is active, a  "J"  will
       be viewed at the first column of that item.

       commands like 'U', 'D' and HOME.

              contains  the name of the current item, the start-time of that item and the current
              level, each on a own line.

       ~/.daisy-player.rc
              This file contains the name of the desired audio device  and  the  desired  playing
              speed.
