A SD card is very small so that mightn't be so bad. I actually like the idea of being able to stick the sd card in the writer on the pc, copy and paste over the files, remove the card, slot it in to the portable device and you're on your way.

Hi Trace, I think I'd prefer something much smaller than one that would be big enough to put a flash card into it. Thanks for your thoughts though. ...Damon ----- Original Message ----- From: Spring.flower To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, June 09, 2006 7:26 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: MP3 player with ease? Can't you get some that use flash or sd cards? that way you might be able to just copy over the files directly to the card via a reader/writer and then slot the card in to the player, card reader writers connect via the usb, well, mine does. At the moment I personally am torn between an ipod or one of the Milestone players that rnib are selling, does anyone know what bit rate the milestone will handle?

Hi, I want to buy a small accessible MP3 player that I can just plug into the USB port of my computer - either at home or at work - that just allows you to cut and paste MP3 files onto it and then immediately listen to them on the move without any software like iTunes or anything. This is partly because I can't load software onto my computer at work. I want to use it pretty much just to listen to podcasts and MP3 files I may have created. Sadly the iPod Shuffle doesn't work like this and, isn't very portable. So any thoughts on something exactly like an iPod shuffle, don't want to have to learn any keystrokes to get me through invisible menus, one that shows up as a drive on your PC that you paste MP3 files onto and then play them. That's what I want. Anyone any thoughts? I want to buy one. Do they exist? OH and if I could pick radio up on it, that might be quite good.
