I think everyone should take a look at the website
www.rockbox.org
They have interfaces which will speak. The Iriver is one of the devices
which is supported. I've had it on my Archos recorder 20GB player for the
last 2 years. It has made it a lot more fun for me when listening to my
music and other materials. Check them out.

Hello! You can try the Iriver h series of mp3 players. I have an h320,
and I swear by it. It is one of the best tools for musicians like us.

Hello,
The IPod Shuffle is supposed to be accessible, although I don't
have one yet. There is a book available from the National Braille Press
called "the IPod Experience: Gaining Access to the Ipod Shuffle," by Anna
Dressner. NBP's phone number is 800 548-7323.
Another friend suggested I check out the Sanza, which also allows
one to play audiobooks, but I didn't get around to it yet.
Good luck.
Audrey

Hi all,
Sorry, if this is totally out of topic, but I'm sure that somebody on this
list must know, if there is any mp3 player like the ipod available on the
market, that is accessible for blind people. At the moment I've got about
30 gb of music on my pc and would like to take that with me and have acces
to it anywhere I go. Is there any player around, which allows me to
somehow
get to know what's on the screen so I could jump to the different menus
and
find artists and titles? I know that the Ipod has just that kind of
funcionality, but is totally useless to us, since we don't know where we
are on the screen.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Thomas
