Why does RFB&D record in specialized formats and why do I need specialized equipment to listen to RFB&Ds audiobooks?
The audiobooks you receive from RFB&D are not like the standard CDs or MP3s you play on your stereo at home or in your car. RFB&D produces CDs and downloadable audio textbooks that are password-protected. The main reason that RFB&D records in specialized formats is to comply with US copyright law. The law allows us to duplicate titles provided we offer them in specialized formats, and only to a qualified population. In our case, that population includes people with documented disabilities, such as a learning disability, visual impairment or other physical disability. If you choose to listen to RFB&D’s AudioPlus books, you’ll need a specially equipped CD player or software. RFB&D offers for sale a selection of portable and desktop players and CD-reading software for students, teachers and professionals to use in the classroom, office or at home. We also offer listening accessories, such as headsets and adapters. These items are described in detail when you click on the Players & Accesso
