The purpose of this list is for the helpful discussion of all aspects of using iPods or similar products by visually impaired people, including the software installed onto a computer in order to transfer music or spoken word material onto the device. Although the original intention (and indeed the emphasis) is to discuss the use of iPod products, it is quite acceptable to write about other (what I would call) portable media devices, inaccurately dubbed as MP3 players by the mass market. Finally, I will allow the discussion of accessing stores for the legal download of music and spoken word material within the context of hopefully transferring the purchased audio content to a portable media device. The transfer of Podcasts to a portable media device can also fall into the scope of the list, but not material contained therein. Although I will provide as much technical help as I possibly can, there will be aspects of this subject which will of course fall outside my knowledge which is why I think this list will be helpful. To subscribe to this list, please send a blank message to blindipod-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word subscribe in the subject line. I hope everyone benefits from this list.
