Hi Nicki, I would suggest something like the IAudio. I know that in Dublin a certain store will supply with speech loaded. This unit behaves like a hard drive and you make your own folders with windows explorer or Dos. When you have all your music arranged on it you run a program in the root folder called Voicebox. This makes the unit call out all the file names as you arrow up and down. Have one and wouldn't be without it. They come in 20g, 30g and 60g hard drive sizes. There are different models but you have to be careful that the rockbox software can be put onto it. I have an IPod as well but while this has speech as well it is very messy to set up if you are putting on previously ripped cds or downloaded mp3s. It makes a mess of folders, etc. If you rip cds through Itunes and put them onto the Ipod it works fine.
