Mark, it's really intersting that you are using iPod successfully.  
 
Can you describe to us the way that you use the iPod differently to
sighted users?  Presumably you have to literally go thru each track,
listen to the intro to decide whether you want to play the whole track?

 
How does it work?  If you were to pick it up now and wanted to hear some
specific tracks, how would you go about doing it and how different would
this be to a sighted user of iPod?  
 
thanks

        Adrian,
         
        All iPods are menu-driven. The latest models (4th generation)
are somewhat easier to use than their predecessors on account of the
incorporation of the four touch-sensitive buttons into the click wheel.
         
        Having said that, iPods are perfectly usable, if you accept that
you are likely to need sighted help to change obscure menu settings.
I've owned mine for six months, and have only resorted to sighted help
twice!
         
        If you want to discuss iPods at more length, perhaps we can
speak on the phone. It would save me a lot of writing!
         
        All the best, Mark

                Hi folks.
                Does anybody know of an accessible Ipod?  Something
that's not totally menu driven?
                Wanting to buy one but am not briefed on them.
                 
                Many thanks.
                 
                Adrian.
