Re: first post: best mp3 player for a totaly blind user
can you use a sd card with that player? the reason i ask is if you like it that much, you could keep it and just buy a bunch of sd cards if it lets you do that.

Re: first post: best mp3 player for a totaly blind user
Unfortunately not. I don't think so anyway, I see no sd card slot on it. I would highly recommend it to any other blind users, but I would really like something a bit bigger. there is a 32 gb model, but it is aparrently not as accessable as it's touch screan. can anyone conferm this?

Hi, I think you should wait a short time, and buy the new Blaze EZ From Hims International. It's gonna be the best portable device for blind people ever.

RE: first post: best mp3 player for a totaly blind user
Yes, I do have a Milestone 312, what I like best is its size, very small, but yet with good sound and also that it plays US Library of Congress NLS BARD books. It has a 15-hour battery, 1 GB internal memory and it takes an SD card of up to 32 GB. Pretty good recording and text-to-speech capabilities. It has no wi-fi and thus no internet radio, but it has AM-FM radio.

Re: first post: best mp3 player for a totaly blind user
Also the Sansa Clip plus and Sansa Zip? Yes I understand you aren't fond of blindness products, but these are mainstream players one can buy in stores, having to oneself put Rockbox on them so they can turn into Talking MP3 ones. My experiences with these have been great! I've got a Sansa Clip Plus and Sansa Zip: both hold Micro SD cards. Good luck!

Hi Robert, If you just want to play your music files and not access files from NLS, Bard, read EBooks, access things from the internet, do OCR, etc, then a rockboxed Sansa is all you really need. You can hear what the Talking MP3 players are like and what they can do by downloading or listening to this file: http://www.blind-geek-zone.net/an-introduction-to-talking-mp3-players/ This would be perfect for your needs as you can use 64GB cards to store your entire music library.
