Have you tried the Ipod Touch? Is it completely accessible and worth the
cost?

Subject: Re: zenstone versus the ipod
I'm not familiar with the newer models of the Zen Stone. The last one I
got was a 4G Zen Stone with External Speaker. Ray's right. It just shows
up as an external storage device, on your PC so you only need Windows
Explorer to copy music over to it. You don't need an application like
itunes.
Unless the newer Xen Stones have gotten a big larger, more sophisticated
and more expensive, they compare mor to the iPod Shuffle than the iPod
Nano. Also, the newest iPod Shuffle and iPod Nano don't use Voice Over,
like the iPhones and iPod Touch does. Instead, you can use iTunes to copy
over voice clips to the Shuffle or the Nano to have the menus, files and
folders spoken to you. this is similar to the way Rockbox works.

Thanks for posting this, I had recommended the Zenstone in the past but I
was told that the newer models aren't accessible? I'm not sure if this is
true or not as I haven't seen one in a while but - supposing it is - then
an Ipod Nano - particularly one of the newer models with Voiceover
built-in - would be worth considering.
An Ipod touch maybe but they're getting rather expensive whereas a Nano
is more in the price range of a Zenstone.
You also get many of the features I recall being on the Zenstone player
such as FM radio, Memo voice recording and son on, all fully accessible.

Lauren, the Zenstone, if it's still around, is far simpler than an Ipod
orItouch. The Zenstone's sound quality is good and there's not much of
a
learning curv either. You can simply copy files or folders
containgcontaining
.mp3 files to the Zenstone, whereas the Apple products I am pretty
certain,
require the use of ITunes. that's a whole steep learning curv in
itself.

Hi,
i am in the market for a player that I can use to play and download
songs
from. I am wondering which is the most accessible for a totally blind
person,
has good memory, is easy to sue and cost? I heard the Ipod touch is
accessible, but wonder if anyone has actual experience with it?
Sincerely,
Lauren
