[Woody Anna Dresner <adresner@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Joe,

Most iPods aren't all that accessible, but the iPod Shuffle is.  It doesn't 
have a screen, and so every control except the battery gauge is accessible 
and easy to use.  With accessible software, such as Anapod Explorer or 
itunes with scripts or set files, you can use all of its features.

I find the Shuffle a convenient-sized method of playing music I have put on 
my computer, Audible content, podcasts, and protected music from 
iTunes.  It's a nice amount of memory for the money, and the variety of 
formats is nice.  I also like features like Autofill, which puts a random 
sampling of all your music into the iPod (fun for road trips and such 
because it's like creating a personal radio station), and the ability, 
through iTunes, to make any file you play in the iPod bookmarkable (meaning 
your place will be kept if you leave the file).  I realize that any audio 
file in a Book Port is automatically bookmarkable, but that's a much 
bulkier and more expensive piece of equipment.

HTH,
Anna
