Hi, I think Anapod Explorer has a free trial, otherwise you'll have to pay to
get it. This is the last time I checked. XPlay 3 is another alternative, but
first I haven't tried it and second you also have to pay for that, however the
free trial has a 20 uses limit, which starts when you copy songs to your Ipod,
something like that. Just shows you can't have a free lunch!

Hi Yusuf
With the utmost respect to what Brian does, the problem with scripts for Itunes
that he produces is that every time there is a JAWS upgrade, then scripts have
to be written to keep up with that version. I just want to be able to plug my
Ipod into my PC and transfer across any stuff I want to load onto it. Is the
feature to do this within Windows Explorer, so it comes up like an external
hard drive, a free utility?
I'd be very interested to hear of other peoples' experiences with this and the
Itell. I was impressed with what it did on an Ipod Cobolt were demonstrating.
I don't have an Ipod, but I could be tempted if I could access the software
appropriately.

Hi jackie, I haven't done this for quite a while but I used to use Anapod
explorer to transfer stuff from my computer to the Ipod.
But with the scripts that Brian's done for Jaws and ITunes I think it is
possible to do the same using ITunes.
Before those scripts were written it was possible to transfer your entire music
collection but I wasn't able to find a way to be selective in what I transfered
or to do anything more advanced than simply getting it on to the IPod.
Someone I know has bought the ITel and I will be interested to know what they
think of it.

Hi All
Can I just thank all those who came to say hello at Sight Village this week.
It was lovely to put voices to some very familiar names on the list.
I didn't get much of a chance to wander around because of strutting my stuff on
the Sight and Sound stand, but I did have enough time to pop over to the Cobolt
stand, and look at their new ITell gadget. For anyone who doesn't know about
this, it is a small device that plugs into the bottom of an Ipod that enables
us mortals with little or no sight to use the Ipod with speech.
I thought this was a really interesting gadget. It doesn't work on either the
Shuffle or Itouch, but all the other models seem to support it. The only thing
that concerns me, however, is how one would transfer material from their PC to
the Ipod if Itunes software isn't accessible. Perhaps some who do this already
would like to elaborate as it might potentially be a stumbling block.
The ITell retails at £59.95 I believe, but I thought it was the most
interesting gadget other than the K-Reader phone, of course! (smile).
Anyone else see anything interesting and "different" this year?
Jackie
