Hi Angela,You can use the I pod to download new music & add tracks from your own CD's, you will need sighted help with this though, as Guide doesn't work well with I Tunes, as for downloading talking books, i haven't tried this, but the problem you may find is, the shuffle hasn't got a massive memory, so a couple of longish books could fill it, & your back to I Tunes, deleting & adding stuff again. As a music player, its great, small, easy to use, good sound quality & a sensible price.
