These are great questions, because there are so many choices these days for
MP3 players in general.
The latest generation of the iPod Nano can be made fully accessible through
the use of both spoken menus and spoken track and album titles.
These accessibility options are enabled through the use of Itunes, either on
the PC or the Mac.
Jaws 11 and the latest version of Window-Eyes work well with Itunes 9.02.
The Ipod Nano features a virtual wheel, that is, there is no physical wheel
that turns on the device, but with practice, making selections and
activating menu selections can be done fairly easily.
The iPod Touch is also made accessible primarily through the use of Itunes.
Through a series of gestures, it is possible to tap or drag your finger
around the screen on the iPod Touch and to activate menu items, typically by
double tapping.
The iPod touch also features WiFi, which is great if you wish to use some of
the other built-in applications such as email or the Safari web browser.
Finally, let's not forget the latest iPod shuffle, which is speech enabled
for everyone by default.
Although there are some alternative programs and hacks for putting music
onto an iPod, there is really no reason not to use Itunes, as it is quite
accessible. Additionally, music purchased from the Itunes store is no
longer copy protected, so that you can copy it on to other MP3 players if
you like.
Hope this helps.
