[access-uk] Re: Accessible MP3 Players

Good news!  I decided to try putting audible air on my phone (I
actually ended up with audible manager, don't know what the difference
is) and once I'd freed up some memory it worked and I can play audible
files.  My SD card is so small it will only hold 2 hours of audio, but
I've just bought a 2GB one from eBay so I'm happy.  I also bought a
new battery in case mine is faulty and that is why it runs down so
quickly.  So in a couple of days I'll have a fully functioning
accessible audible player.

Thanks for all your help.
