SYNOPSIS

       daisy-player [directory_with_a_Daisy-structure] [-d ALSA_sound_device]

DESCRIPTION

       Daisy-player reads a Daisy-CD and plays the audio-files.  DAISY version 2.02 and 3 are currently supported.

       A  list	of items on the Daisy-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.

       Daisy-player supports the following languages: english, german and dutch.

OPTIONS

       directory_with_a_Daisy-structure
	      One could also give a directory with a daisy structure as argument to daisy-player.

       -d ALSA sound device
	      Daisy-player will play on this sound device. Default is "default".

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.

CONTROL KEYS

       Daisy-player recognizes the following keyboard-commands:

       cursor down

FILES

	      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.
