| Hi Andy,
|
| As far as I know, the Ipods don't retain their place.  What makes you

| Hi Steve - so then, is it only the Ipods with Itunes that retains the 
place

||
||| Hi Andy,
|||
||| The Zenstone doesn't have a screen, but the Zen does.
|||
||| They don't remember your place in a track, but they do in an audio book
|| from
||| Audible.
|||
||| Yes, standard Mini USB to USB lead will do it, and you can just copy and
||| paste.  That's just one thing I hate about Ipods, proprietory databases
| to
||| import your files to, rather than just playing what's there.
|||
||| All the best
|||

||| Hi Steve - Sounds like the Zenstone is more the thing then; 2 questions
||| about them if I may: Do they have a screen for a sighted user? and will
|| they
|||
||| remember the position in an a book or music track? Oh, can't count can 
I,
||| here's a third question! Can they just be hooked up via USB cable to a 
PC
||| for file transfer? -

|||| Hi Andy,
||||
|||| I would not recommend Ipods personally, since everything relies on
|| Itunes.
|||| You can't even copy MP3 files straight to the device without Itunes.  I
|||| would recommend something like the Creative Zen 16 or 32GB.  Or even 
the
|||| Zenstone if you want smaller.  These players are very simple in that 
you
||| can
|||| just copy and paste files to them, and they will show up.  I don't see
|| the
|||| attraction in Ipods at all, when there are much nicer devices.
||||
|||| All the best
||||

||||
|||| Hi all -
||||
|||| I'm buying a gift for somebody sighted, and need some advice. I'm
| looking
|||| for an easy to use MP3 player, it doesn't need huge capacity as it is
||| mainly
||||
|||| for listening to books, and there fore must be able to retain it's 
place
|||| when turned off; it must also have USB connectivity for loading books 
on
||| to
|||| it from a PC. Portability is important, so something like an Ipod. Any
|||| suggestion please? -
