Hi Mandy

If you're looking to use this for reading books be careful as most of the players although cheap as Mel said are a little lacking in navigation ability. Not too much of a problem with music but a pain with books. The Scholar Graham mentions is a good choice. Also there is the Victor Vibe being sold by the RNIB and I'm almost certain it will play MP3 as well.

Hi Mandy

There is also the Telex scholar portable daisy player which is like a
discman only chunkier and plays MP3, daisy and ordinary music CD's and runs
off mains and batteries. Lew me know if you want further info. Cheers!

Hi there Mel, do they have an electrical socket as well, but as you say I will go and have a look at Curries or Comet. I didn't know they were so cheap.

Thanks Mandy

Hi Mandy,

There are quite a few of these available.  I bought one over a year ago
for about £30.  I would suggest that you go to somewhere like Curry's and
ask to have a look at some as they work very much like walkmans so it'll
just be down to which you prefer or find most usable.

Hi there, I just wondered if anyone could give me any suggestion of an MP3 player that plays the discs, not the small pen drives but an actual disc player, don't know if I've put this very coherently but one of the libraries I belong to are going on to MP3 discs and I'd like to get a portable player to be able to play their discs, I have the DAISY player but I'd like to get an ordinary portable player. Thanks

Mandy
