Hi
 
It just started playing up yesterday, and says that it can't play any
stations due to media player not being able to play any files.  
 
I was just trying to tune in to radio five live, but none of the other bbc
channels will play either.
 
I tried reinstalling the radio player, but nothing changed.
 
Thanks for any help.

Hi,

 

Yeah, have a look at the App Directory.  It catagorises the apps by type, eg
Business, Music, Social etc.

 

There's a heap of Mac information on the web but here's some specific ones
dealing with Voice Over and other Visually Impaired folks using Macs and
other Apple products.

There's alsoa  nice little site bya  young Blind girl in New Jersey in the
US,

So, plenty for you to read up in that lot.

Barry.

Hi Barry 

 

Thanks for that, I had a look.

 

Is there anywhere on that page that tells you what the apps are and what
they do?  Would be good to know what is out there, accessible, and useful to
use on a iPod touch.

 

What do others on the list use there's for on a regular bases, apart from
playing music?

 

Thanks.

 

Terry

Hi all 

 

Having read many different post on the list over the months, there has
always been lots of discussion regarding the pros and cons of the Iphone and
the touch.  I love my gadgets, but have still not yet taken the plunge with
either.  Well, having said that, I did have an Iphone for a few months, but
then decided to sell it, as I hated it as a phone and for texting on.  

 

From my own personal perspective, I will stick with a nokia for a phone, as
its quick, versatile, and so easy to use.

 

That said, the apple products seem to have some quite interesting apps to
play with.

 

My main question is, are any of the apps really that useful?  or are most of
them five minute gimmicks?

 

Could anyone take the time to post some information about the apps that they
feel are actually really useful.  I'm thinking of apps that are used for
fun, to assist with sight issues and are maybe better or easier to use than
software one may already have on a laptop.

 

Thanks for any input.

 

Regards

Terry
