Hi Jim
Hmmm! I suggest you sub to Access IT through RNIB? I'm not advertising it,
just write for it quite a bit. You can receive it by either Email, Braille
or audio, and I can't remember the price, around 70p per issue? I've
subscribed to it since it came out in the 90s.
I don't like to sound mean, but if I sent out articles to every person who
wanted to read them, then part of my day would be devoted to it, and I'm not
exaggerating. Also, I don't get paid much by RNIB for what I write, and
nothing from anyone who asks for a copy, so you see my dilemma?
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

intended, smile.

Hi Billy
Are you looking for a mainstream player such as an Olympus, Apple,
etc, or would you consider one of the specialist DAISY/MP3 players? I
have written an extensive two-part article on the four main players
which has appeared in the July and August issues of Access IT.
Basically the piece pulls together the Milestone, BookSense, Victor
Reader Stream, and the Plextalk Pocket, detailing their features, pros
and cons, prices and dealers. It may give you some idea of what they can
offer if you choose that particular route.
Enjoy.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Hello Jackie, this is the big problem with Apple for me.
The fact, they will not let customers use third party software etc.
I have the iPhone4, and not being able to upload my audio book library
is nothing short of shocking. This is why I am weary about the ipods.
I have Indeed heard some good reports about the Olympus players, and
the Sansa clip + mp3 players.
Anyway, thanks for as usual good sensable Information,
Billy

Hi Billy
I agree completely that iTunes is really crap, least that's what I
think personally, but you do sort of get used to it. I use it on the
Mac, and while I have to ponder every keystroke before I perform a
task, I kind of get there and can now make playlists.
There are lots of podcasts out there on iTunes, no doubt, and how to
get the most out of an iPod. Personally, the advice to have one is
sound if it's music you want. You can do lots of other stuff with an
iPod such as add applications like radio stations, giving you a massive
music experience.
Or you could purchase an Olympus that speaks many functions and
filenames if you want something a bit more tactile. There are lots of
models to choose from, and I am not up on what's best with speech
these days as I don't use them. My friends tell me the DM5 is an
excellent machine, so you might want to consider it if Apple really isn't
your thing.
Good luck.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns
