What's the sound quality like with the book courier?
Cheers Dave
Hi Carol,
Although it is not hard disk based, the most accessible non-CD MP3 player in
the world, has to be the Book Courier. You also get the added benefit of
being able to read text files, Audible books, TNAUK newspapers, Braille
ready files, and very soon, Daisy books too. And with flash cards up to 2
and 4GB now, it makes quite a respectable, and more importantly, accessible,
MP3 player.

Adrian,
That sounds interesting because my husband is after something small, easy to use and that he can listen to music, music and more music.
How many MP3's do you copy across at any one time? Any more details would be useful. Thanks.

I use a smartdisk rover II. Not as complex as some thing like an i-pod but doubles as a 256 mb memory stick and mp3 player, it does have a screen but you in almost no way rely on it, I'm sure I don't use it to it's full potential but stop start pause and skip track functions are extremely simple. Stop start is one button, track movement is a 2 way lever, push one way to skip back, the other to move forward. The unit also features a voice recorder which I haven't tried, and an fm radio although that's a bit of a cheat as it's actually a separate unit which plugs inlne between the stick and the headphones and it's not very good. It cost me about £100 in september. File management is a simple as plug in to the usb port or usb extension cable and use windows explorer to copy and paste files around. Unit powered by a single triple a battery.

Sorry iof this has been delt with here already and I would be surprised if it has not.
How accessible are the mp3 platers that are coming on the market? I have yet to get my hands on one but they seem to depend for navigation on an LCD screen. Now I use my non accessible mobile by simply remembering the sequence of keystrokes to get what I want. Will this work for me with an iPOD or the Sony player that seems to be competing with it?
Any and all thoughts please!
