For push button devices, there's the Victor Stream from Humanware which's
well worth considering too.

Hi Nicki.
 
From what you're describing to us, your presumably used to a push button
rather than a touchscreen experience?  If that is the case and you still
want to stick to pushing buttons, you can choose from a number of devices
which will allow you to store and play music and audible books.  I suggest
you look at the portable devices the RNIB have to offer, which include the
Milestone and Book sense, both specialist devices which incorporate many
features for music lovers and book lovers alike.  The Book sense is the best
of the bunch at the moment but it comes with a hefty price tag, while the
milestone is a simpler, smaller and more dedicated device for playing music.
If you want to consider an Apple device as some have suggested, you'll need
to familiarise yourself with a touchscreen interface as all Apple devices
now operate this way.
 
All the best, Ibrahim.

hi everyone
i joined this list  as i think it's going to be the best way to get a
question answered about accessible mp3 players/ipods
I'm off to Australia for 6 weeks in September - and would like to take alot
of music and cd's with me
i currently have 2 olympuses - which i can download audible books on to -
but as yet, have not fathomed out how to put cd's on them
i had an ipod - but its broken - so now i'm hoping to get an accessible mp3
player/ipod or similar that will hold  alot of cd's and songs approximately
500 plus songs
can anyone  advise me on the easiest thing to buy - i am really not good at
learning new technology - i did work out how to do things with olympus and
audible - but only through following the braille instructions laboriously
thanks in anticipation
from nicki [>] which you can consider
