Hi Clive
I appreciate your frustrations and, to a very large extent, agree with them.
I used to use an Iriver H340 which allowed you to simply copy and paste from
one drive to another within Windows Explorer. I don't know if there are any
cheaper brands on the market that will let you do that. As you say, all the
Apple products require you to use iTunes, and the specialist devices will let
you use Windows Explorer to copy and paste, but are expensive just for music.
I thought the RNIB had one called the Vibe or something, but I've never seen
it, know next to nothing about it, and think it is still expensive from what I
hear.
Perhaps the Zenstone users among you could help?
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Hi all,
I'm now beginning to think that the Apple ITunes programme and IPods may not be
for me. I can't run to a Victor player upwards of £200 at present.
Are there any portable players out there which :
are Easy for a VI person to use;
don't rely on syncing from within complex computer programmes but instead let
you copy and paste mp3 files from your computer to your portable device; have
at least 4gb storage capacity, or play music stored on SD cards.
I've heard it said that all portable players need you to sync from your
computer through ITunes, Windows Media Player or whatever. I've heard other
people say that this is nonsense.
#so, does the device I want actually exist?
Thanks,
Clive
