Agree with the IPod Nano. I have one and have figured out all the tricks for 
synching and building audio books from CD books, to play. Benefit of an audio 
book format is that it remembers where you left off so you can resume easily.

Funny, I just never got used to thinking of the IPod Nano as an MP3 player, but 
I guess that's what it is.

One note though, is that it's so small it weighs less than my headphones and I 
often forget its attached to the end of the wires. Get a cloth or leather pouch 
to keep it inside when not in use, so that its easy to find and not so easy to 
lose.

  Omar,

  I just purchased an IPod Nano. It speaks all menus with Voiceover, including 
a graphic equalizer. It plays Audible books as well as music. You could also 
get the Shuffle, but it has fewer features. 

  There are also players made for the blind such as the Victor or the Book 
Sense. However, these are pricy. In my opinion they arent that great for music 
either, though many people use them for that purpose.

  Hello,

  Does anyone have any recommendations for blind-friendly mp3 players for 
listening to music or books?

  Thanks.
