Hi Steve - Sounds like the Zenstone is more the thing then; 2 questions
about them if I may: Do they have a screen for a sighted user? and will they
remember the position in an a book or music track? Oh, can't count can I,
here's a third question! Can they just be hooked up via USB cable to a PC
for file transfer? -

| Hi Andy,
|
| I would not recommend Ipods personally, since everything relies on Itunes.
| You can't even copy MP3 files straight to the device without Itunes. I
| would recommend something like the Creative Zen 16 or 32GB. Or even the
| Zenstone if you want smaller. These players are very simple in that you
can
| just copy and paste files to them, and they will show up. I don't see the
| attraction in Ipods at all, when there are much nicer devices.
|
| All the best
|
| Steve

| Hi all -
|
| I'm buying a gift for somebody sighted, and need some advice. I'm looking
| for an easy to use MP3 player, it doesn't need huge capacity as it is
mainly
|
| for listening to books, and there fore must be able to retain it's place
| when turned off; it must also have USB connectivity for loading books on
to
| it from a PC. Portability is important, so something like an Ipod. Any
| suggestion please? -
