first post: best mp3 player for a totaly blind user
Hello all. I'm sorry if this has been discussed loads of times before, I'm new to the list and unsure how to search passed messages. I am totaly blind and am looking for an mp3 player. here are a few points. i am using a sony nwz model at the moment, this is fine but it's only 16 gb. I have about 3 tb of music and collect records, so this is getting to be not nearly enough even for day to day use, especially if i go on holidays. I don't care if it talks or not, in a lot of ways i'd rather it didn't. I know that you can get big takling ipods, but I don't think I like those too much. The most important thing for me is that on my sony I can use the up and down to go back and forth by album and left and right by track. I love this feature about it, but I would like something with simple menues so that if I so wish I can put it on shuffle for a while. Do you folks have any suggestions to check out? sorry for the long post! Rob.
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?

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.

Re: Best MP3 Player
I don't know about the third unit you mentioned. The biggest thing I like about the book port is that it is four devices in one. * text and document reader * digital recorder * mp3 player * braille note taker It will also read web pages I got mine last January and have not been disappointed yet. ** %TAG% WRIGHTJAMS I bet somewhere at home you still have those stacks of wax! Those tunes that bring back special memories. You?ve looked near and far but not all are available on cd. What are you to do? Let wrightjams convert those LPs and cassettes for you. Wright jams can take those 33s and 45s and recreate them for you on cd in the best quality possible. Pricing: LPS???.$15.00 45S???.$15.00 FOR A GROUP OF 15 Cassetttes..

Don't waste your money on MP3 players/recorders made specifically for the sighted user. Buy the Book Port from APH. I use this device everyday to listen to podcasts and other media I download. I transfer the recordings Replay AV makes for me to the Book Port. You do not have to worry about what menu your on as the Book Port reads all the folders and files to you through your headphones. Uses double A batteries. I hear that there's a chance for a newer Book Port unit. Is this true? I would love to see the new BP to have a better recorder and smaller body.

The best MP3 player
Hi everyone! A very interesting thread this one but (for my needs at least) the Bookport doesn't seem to be the best MP3 player but it is by no means the only accessible mp3 player around.

RE: The best MP3 player
Hi all Just my two cents worth on this also ... I would rather go to the trouble of converting a .txt book into mp3 with a reasonable sapi 5 voice than suffer listening to the very robotic sounding speech of the bookport. Sure technology has improved somewhat since the 1980s since that type of speech was used?

The BookCourier is, I believe, the same physical size as the BookPort but the BookPort has an extra row of buttons which enables it to perform additional tasks, such as its Braille notetaking features.

I transfer the recordings Replay AV makes for me to the Book Port. You do not have to worry about what menu your on as the Book Port reads all the folders and files to you through your headphones.

Re: Best MP3 Player
Hi, Too bad I didn't know BookPort was supporting OGG. If I'd have known, I might have saved my money and coughed up the extra 70 or more dollars to buy it instead of my X5. Probably not, though. I'm happy with 20GB of rechargeable hard drive, playing DVD's and AAC files. I've got Kurzweil, so converting most books to MP3 is a matter of half an hour. I think, and I'm not starting a war over this, or not intending to, that Rockbox is the way to go for MP3 players.

Don't waste your money on MP3 players/recorders made specifically for the sighted user. Buy the Book Port from APH. I use this device everyday to listen to podcasts and other media I download. I transfer the recordings Replay AV makes for me to the Book Port. You do not have to worry about what menu your on as the Book Port reads all the folders and files to you through your headphones. Uses double A batteries. I hear that there's a chance for a newer Book Port unit. Is this true? I would love to see the new BP to have a better recorder and smaller body. Support for WMA and WMA DRM would be awesome.

Re: The best MP3 player
Hi again, Now that I think about it, a daisy player for the smartphones shouldn't be too far off at all. There are ones for the Pac Mate, which is basically the pocket PC platform, and if you have a phone that runs on that it should almost be able to be installed. As for phones like the n70 and such that run on the simbion, I thought there already was one. I could be wrong but I remember reading somewhere or hearing on a podcast about a daisy reader for the phone. Brandon Peter Scanlon wrote: Or put a phone in my Braille Note!

Re: The best MP3 player
best thing about the book port or book courier is the ease of scanning through a file to locate your place. the worst thing is the transfer speed. Damn slow. - Original Message - From: Dane Trethowan [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio discussion list. pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Saturday, December 09, 2006 6:58 AM Subject: The best MP3 player Hi everyone! A very interesting thread this one but (for my needs at least) the Bookport doesn't seem to be the best MP3 player but it is by no means the only accessible mp3 player around. Take for example my Nokia N70 mobile phone using the Talks software, no trouble whatsoever accessing the MP3 music player on that and no trouble whatsoever transferring files to the phone from my computers or downloading them from the net as the phone is both USB and bluetooth compatible, its a WCDMA phone so you have the added benefit of broad-band internet speeds for uploading and downloading, I've been using this little beauty for ten months. Then of course there is my Iriver 340 which I've had for nearly 2 years now which has served me well with its ability to record, its ease of upgrading to thigns such as Rockbox and the like etc. Then I have my CD Players here which will play MP3 files and so it goes on. Well I looked at the Bookport and I have to admit it looks very nice particularly if you're wanting to read allot of books etc but the only downlside for my needs at least was the fact that I couldn't find out whether this device could record say from a line-in audio source, quite frankly for the amount of money I'd be paying for one of these things I'd expect that to be part and parcel of the machine but I do understand and respect the fact that everyone's needs are different to everyone elses so therefor I'm reluctant to knock any one product in favour of another.

Best MP3 Player
Just my opinion here. Don't waste your money on MP3 players/recorders made specifically for the sighted user. Buy the Book Port from APH. I use this device everyday to listen to podcasts and other media I download. I transfer the recordings Replay AV makes for me to the Book Port. You do not have to worry about what menu your on as the Book Port reads all the folders and files to you through your headphones. Uses double A batteries. I hear that there's a chance for a newer Book Port unit. Is this true? I would love to see the new BP to have a better recorder and smaller body. Support for WMA and WMA DRM would be awesome.

RE: Best MP3 Player
Are there any comparison articles regarding the Bookport, BookCourier, and Milestone mp3 players, since they are the leading accessible mp3 players out there? What are the advantages or disadvantages that make each one different, for instance? They all cost about the same price.

Re: Best MP3 Player
Ok, first question I have about this, I'm assuming that it can record, how much RAM do you have at your disposal?
