I wouldn't personally recommend an Ipod Touch if you aren't keen on new learning and/or maybe not having any tactile clues.


Take a look in Curries or PC World for the smaller ipods with buttons. They're simple to use and should fit the bill.

Hi all.
I second everyone's comments about the iPod Touch. I have
the 32 GB model, which can hold about 7,000 songs. But
remember it is not just for music; you can also install
apps to enhance your use of the device. One thing I
recommend though is that if you are going to use it for
long periods, I suggest you get a bluetooth keyboard.
This will make typing and navigation on the device a
breeze. I am not against the touch screen approach at
all. It is very good and Apple should be proud of
themselves. However typing is frustrating at its best and
I personally wouldn't want to swipe and double tap for
hours on end. So this is why I and many other blind iPod
users go for a bluetooth keyboard.   Hope this helps.
Chat soon.

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
