Jim,
 
    The Shuffle itself is perfectly accessible, having only two  buttons and
no screen.
 
    The first button is a slide switch with 3 positions. Off, Play in
shuffled order, and Play in normal order.
 
    The second button is a circular multi-directional button. Pressing up
and down raises/lowers the volume, pressing left or right rewinds/forward
winds the track, pressing in the centre plays or pauses the track.
 
    Unfortunately, Itunes, the software needed to transfer files to and from
the Shuffle is not accessible. If you are a Jaws user, Brian Hartgen of T&T
Consultancy has developed some Jaws scripts that will bridge the gap between
the two technologies. Sadly I don't know of an option for other screen
readers though.
