Hi Clive,
It is perfectly accessible, as you just have play/pause, stop, rewind and
forward buttons. Nothing else.
My only beef with it, is that you have no way that I can see of controlling
the order in which the tracks play. I don't think it supports playlists or
anything like that. I saw it at the BETT show when Hagger had it there. I
put a pen drive in it with some MP3 files which were numbered 01-file name,
02-file name etc, and it did not play them in any semblance of order.
It's not a bad product, but worth being aware of this fairly serious
shortcoming.
All the best
Steve

Hello everyone,
Has anyone purchased the USB BoonBox MP3 Player from Hagger electronics? I
am wondering how accessible it is. In case you haven't heard of this new
product, I will paste the details below from their January newsletter.
January News.
We start the New Year with a New Product.
For those of you that are interested or already listening to Talking Books
or Talking Newspapers in MP3 format, we have a great simple to use MP3
player.
A small system with 2 times 45mm Diameter speakers and a USB socket.
Dimensions: 170mm in Length x 70mm Depth x 100mm in Height.
The USB BoomBox is a Plug and Play system that looks like a snazzy iPod
accessory but only requires a USB stick with your music or speech on it.
Sounds simple?? It is Simple!
USB BoomBox MP3 Player. £22.00 Ex Vat HLL0001
(This product is VAT Exempt for the Visually Impaired or Blind)
Easy to use for the Elderly, Visually Impaired or Blind and a great
introduction into the MP3 World!
USB BoomBox MP3 Player offers an easy way to listen to MP3 files direct from
a USB Flash Drive.
Simply plug your USB device into the port and it is ready to play. All the
control buttons are on the front panel for easy access. (Buttons now come in
Red, not white).
USB BoomBox MP3 Player is compatible with the latest USB technology. It will
automatically search for MP3 file formats on connected USB 1.1 / 2.0 flash
drives. (It will work with all Easy Copier USB Flash drives.)
Will resume to the beginning of track or chapter. Not to the point it was
left at unless you use the pause button. If you remove the pen drive, it
will remember the chapter it was on.
?Requires 4 x AA Batteries (Not Included)
?Comes with Mains Adaptor.
?Head Phone Socket (Headphones not included)
?On and Off Switch.
