Hi,
The Ipod isn't accessable because of the menus, etc., but the Ipod
shuffle doesn't have menus or a visual display at all. So the player
itself would be great, but I wouldn't want to have to rely on anyone
to access the software. The price sure is right, but I might just end
up saving up for a bookport eventually.
