Or you could take the discussion to the list below, PC-Audio from memory is
rather busy and perhaps more specific answer may be gained from the list
below.
To join the Ipod list send a blank message to
blindipod-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
with the word subscribe
in the subject line.

Perhaps the PC Audio list would be an alternative. Check out:

is it not possible then to just transfer files to the IPod as though it =

Thank your lucky stars you are not using a Macintosh at the moment where
currently access is still (to my knowledge) non existant at any price. =
The
only other alternative PC wise is Anapod from Red Chair Software but you
will still be spending a similar amount of cash, the current Anapod =

to have support for the Shuffle and the Nano.

not strictly jaws related this one but accessibility of the software is.
With many mp3 players you just put the player into the USB port and it =
is
seen as another disk drive, no problem.
but I do not know of any way of accessing I-Tunes that comes with the =
IPod
Shuffle unless you are prepared to pay =A330 extra for Brian Hartgen's
scripts.
I know he has to make money and I do not criticise him for charging for
them. Never the less, I don't like the idea of having to buy a =
screenreader
and then still having to pay more than everyone else just to access an =
mp3
player. I am not sure if you do absolutely need to use I-tunes or =
whether
there is a free alternative.
Cheers

I have just been wondering that myself. Returned one last week because =
it
proved not very accessible. I have ordered an Apple Shuffle iPod Shuffle
from Amazon. It is rather like those little memory sticks and works the =
same
way. However, it is only 512 mb in memory size and holds around 120 =
songs.
Perhaps they will make ones with larger memories in the future. It will =
do
me however if it is accessible. I ordered it because unlike most others, =
it
does not have a screen and apparently can be used without even looking =
at
the thing. It is a fairly basic one I think, play, pause, stop, forward =
and
back and can be set to play tracks in order or randomly by the slide of =
a
switch, hence the name "Shuffle." There is no radio or any of the fancy =
bits
you get with other players, but I think if you just want accessible =
music on
the go it sounds perfect. Has been dispatched by Amazon today and should
arrive in the next couple of days, so I will post a message on here and =
let
Members know how I get on.
