The FS PacMate has that option and I understand that they are working
with RFB&D to provide that to their users.
I would guess that the time frame is going to be quite shortly but don't
know for sure.

It is too bad RFBD does not allow their books to play in daisy formats
on products such as the braillenote and that company's other notetakers,
the braille sense or the Freedom Scientific line of notetakers. RFBD
does not let their books play on any cd players unless you either
purchase the player from them or send in (yes physically send in) a cd
player to have RFBD install a key on it. RFBD will not send you a key
to install on any cd players.
