The most useful feature from the perspective of MP3 players is the ability to mark the book up with multiple levels of headings. You can use as much detail as you like, even marking up paragraphs and phrases if you wish. DAISY players are aware of these levels and let you move between them, easily skipping between chapters of a book, for instance, or allowing you to go to a particular page. The idea is to make an audiobook as easy to navigate as a hard copy print book. The other major feature of DAISY is the ability to synchronize text and audio, so that you could, for example, stop audio playback and check the spelling of the word that was just spoken, using the text version which is synchronized with the audio. This feature, I imagine, would not be relevant to Rockbox-enabled MP3 players. The reason speech compression was brought up is that most dedicated DAISY players, typically CD players designed to play DAISY books on CD, include it.
