The Iriver players are accessible and I have an Archos Jukebox 20 GB
recorder, you can download an alternative firmwear called rock box, this
gives voices to the menus and spells out the directories and names of songs.
your computer recognizes it as another drive, even w/o the rockbox, you can
still navagate your music. this type of player is discontinued, but you can
still find them on ebay and Amazon, also the rockbox team is making their
firm wear for the Iriver players.

Subject: [bookport] Uses for BookPort
I use BookPort primarily for reading. I like to load twenty or thirty
books on it, and read them all! Being an old lady, I am still amazed to
have so much reading material available.
I would like to find an off-the-shelf MP3 player that is accessible, for
music. Is anyone using one they would recommend? My grandkids have
Sandisk players with 512 meg memory and FM radio. there is a Nuvo player
by Creative Labs with 512 meg of ram also, Fm radio, and apparently a
teeny-tiny drive instead of a flash card for the memory. The software is
easy to use, but I don't know about changing stations, moving through
tracks, and so on. If anyone is using an MP3 player, I would like to hear
about it, so I can continue to use BP for texts and not clutter it with
other stuff.
