hi tink, thanks for that info. yes i am a jaws user. do you have a shuffle? and if so, do you listen to books on it? i am thinking how useful it would be when on holiday, instead of taking a caseful of machine and books. ----- Original Message ----- From: Tink Watson To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, August 12, 2005 11:22 AM Subject: [jaws-uk] Re: i-pod shuffle: Of course, this being the Jaws UK list, you probably are a Jaws user. *Smile. I'll start paying attention anytime now.

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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tink.
