Hi, thanks for publishing this. Would it be possible to document which model of DAISY player your father played these on?

Also I have a couple of follow-up questions if you don't mind:

1. Are you using ISO-8859-1 encoding because UTF-8 didn't work on that device, or was this not tested (maybe you never had to cope with non-ASCII characters in a title and that's OK, just want to know...)
2. Was 56k the highest bitrate that device could handle, or just a reasonable choice of bitrate for CBR re-coding of speech? (asking because I'm wondering what to do about recordings that have music as well)
3. Was the device unable to handle any sample rate other than 44.1kHz?
4. Did you ever test without --strictly-enforce-ISO and/or without -t (I'm particularly surprised -t is needed to suppress a bit of info at the start of the file: was the player really that fussy?)

Thanks! I'm trying to figure out the limitations of different DAISY players and the best LAME parameters for Anemone.
