Rockbox has gotten pretty easy to install lately, but if you want to skip the hassle of finding a player that will support Rockbox and then getting it installed, you can always go to http://www.talkingmp3players.com/. They sell MP3 players with Rockbox already installed and working. Another thing to point out is that this will also be your least expensive option.
Another option that wasn't pointed out here is the MP3 players made especially for the blind. I have a Booksense from HIMS but there's also the Victor Stream from Humanware maybe? I think there are a few other options in this category as well. The advantage here is that they'll also work with LS, RFBD and other formats. In the future, I'd also suggest a more descriptive subject line. I don't always read the body of the messages, and a topic like "My brother and I have a question" doesn't tell me anything about what you're asking about. I also think this list is specifically for PC related audio questions, so this is probably off topic for this list. Unfortunately, I don't know of a generic list dedicated to your different accessible media player options. On 21/04/11 15:18, Walter wrote: > Hi.
