An iPod Nano would probably meet your needs the most. However, I suspect
you'll be out of luck on the radio and microphone. Personally I'm waiting
till October to get one of the quarter-sized Shuffles that has no screen.

Subject: [blindipod] Which IPOD to buy?
Hello,
I am planning to replace my Creative Muvo MP3 player with something more
accessible. I would appreciate your suggestions on what to go for. I would
ideally like something which will do the following in decreasing priority
order:
1.. Be accessible either through Rockbox or through remembered
sequences of key presses (my MuVo is not accessible as the menus wrapt from
first item to last item and vice versa and so it is impossible to reliably
get to a known state)
2.. Play MP3 and audible format 3
3.. Have built in FM radio
4.. Have storage capacity of at least 1GB ideally on a memory card
rather than a hard disk
5.. Not require Itunes
6.. Have built in microphone for recording voice files (I don't need
any fancy voice editing functions)
7.. Be small in size
From what i have read on this forum it looks like the Apple IPODs
mandate Itunes which is not very accessible, especially as I use Windoweyes
rather than JAWS. I much prefer the Windows Explorer method of downloading
files onto the IPOD.
The Iriver products look good, but there are a lot of models and I am
unsure which ones are adequately accessible, support audible format 3, and
are easily obtainable in the UK.
The Rockbox WEB site lists several other products as supported, but I
have no knowledge of these.
I look forward to your advice.
Many thanks.
