Hi,
I manage the menu items by memorizing the number of clicks I hear.  For
example, there's a shuffle option in the main menu.  I know that from the
beginning of the main menu, it takes three clicks from the click wheel to
reach shuffle.  I had sighted help with this, but once someone runs through
the menu items with you, it's not too bad.

Any electronic shop should have iPods.  If you can get to one, I suggest
asking to see the models they have in stock if you're seriously considering
getting an iPod.
Amanda

Hi

Don't think we have a shop near here.

How do you manage the menu's?

Good description, thanks
