How about using a Penfriend? 
Some museums and galleries are starting to use the Penfirend in this sort of 
way.  It could be used as a basic MP3 player or alternatively, the labels could 
be used as long as there was an easy way to identify where the labels were to 
use the Penfriend with them.

Inclusive design means that  all products, services, environments etc., should 
be accessible and usable by the majority of people, to the greatest extent, 
without the need for any adaptation or specialist design.

  Darran, The problem is that some may not have their own player - or not with 
them at any rate.

  Richard, what about a downloadable MP3 file that people could pop onto  their 
device of choice? Folks could then use their own phones, players etc. 

  May be tricky of course if the group don't have a website to host the file.

    Hi, I've been asked by a group which has constructed a sensory garden, what 
would be the best way of providing audio info to visitors.  

    One suggested route was the construction of "audio posts", but I'm sure 
this would be far too expensive.

    I wondered if anyone else had suggestions as to the best type of player?

    I know that some libraries use "Playaways" which seem to be small MP3 
players which have a pre-recorded book on them, and which contain some 
navigation features similar to DAISY.  I presume these are pretty cheap, but 
would welcome more info.  

    Would also welcome other suggestions.
