Hi everyone
thank you for all your help so far
there is alot of good advice
B.J. made a good point re the downloading of songs from itunes - i'd like to be
able to do that, so if i like a certain song, i can just download it, rather
than buying complete albums or CD singles
i wanted to get an ifone once - but was treated with such patronising tones
when i went to curries - i'm very reluctant to go anywhere - as no one seems
to be able to let you just have a go - unless you buy it first
may someone tell me more about the milestone and zenstone?
will they work with itunes and audible
also, is there a piece of software you can buy that allows jaws to use itunes?
thanks again - from nicki

Hi Nicki.
From what you’re describing to us, your presumably used to a push button
rather than a touchscreen experience? If that is the case and you still want
to stick to pushing buttons, you can choose from a number of devices which will
allow you to store and play music and audible books. I suggest you look at the
portable devices the RNIB have to offer, which include the Milestone and Book
sense, both specialist devices which incorporate many features for music lovers
and book lovers alike. The Book sense is the best of the bunch at the moment
but it comes with a hefty price tag, while the milestone is a simpler, smaller
and more dedicated device for playing music. If you want to consider an Apple
device as some have suggested, you’ll need to familiarise yourself with a
touchscreen interface as all Apple devices now operate this way.
All the best, Ibrahim.

hi everyone
i joined this list as i think it's going to be the best way to get a
question answered about accessible mp3 players/ipods
I'm off to Australia for 6 weeks in September - and would like to take alot
of music and cd's with me
i currently have 2 olympuses - which i can download audible books on to - but
as yet, have not fathomed out how to put cd's on them
i had an ipod - but its broken - so now i'm hoping to get an accessible mp3
player/ipod or similar that will hold alot of cd's and songs approximately 500
plus songs
can anyone advise me on the easiest thing to buy - i am really not good at
learning new technology - i did work out how to do things with olympus and
audible - but only through following the braille instructions laboriously
thanks in anticipation
from nicki
