Is there a way of getting Daisy Books to play on Voice Dream Reader?

I have several daisy audio cook books that I wanted to play on Voice Dream Reader. I know the daisy book has an MP3 format as well, so picked out all those files and zipped them into a compressed file ready for Voice Dream. The app reads the headings but not the content. For example, a cook book I put onto Voice Dream reads the chapter headings and when I tap on those, reads the different recipe titles, but can't go any further than that.
Does anyone know of a way I can copy the audio off a daisy book and get it to read properly? If not by Voice Dream Reader is there an alternative app? I don't really want to be stuck at the PC listening to them on the daisy player.
thanks. Debbie

HI. copy all the files into a folder from the disc or other media your daisy book is on. if it's already in a folder, then zip that up and dump it to dropbox or icloud or wherever, as long as it's accessible to voice dream reader. for instance, i have talking books on my iphone. i just put each indevidual book into a folder, then zipped it up and put it into the dropbox folder, then downloaded the zipped file to my voicedraem reader, you can then play as normal. warning, if a book has more than one disc, you have to zip each disc into its own folder. so a series of cook books might have several discs, zip each into its own folder and dump to dropbox or icloud or wherever and download the zipped file to voicedream. the daisy book will play right out of the zip file, you don't need to unzip to play. hth.
