Hi chris,

You should try listening to a Rockboxed Sansa Fuze, it sounds
fantastic!  E ven better than the E200 Series players!

Here's what one gets with a player purchase from Accessible Electronics:

the player (including USB cable and earphones), completely set up and
speaking, initial instructional email and Quick-Start Guide, plus the
Rockbox manual for the specific player.  One also gets the utilities
one may need for whatever one wishes to do with their player.  *Free*
tech support via email, phone, and Skype, including walking someone
through whatever procedure they need to be walked through.  90-day
replacement warranty.  Shipping  handling is free in the US and
discounted on international orders.

With iPods you may not need to use VoiceBox, which is very simple to
use BTW, but you do have to use iTunes to do anything with your
player, and as you know, not everyone takes to iTunes like a duck to
water, with some people ending up paying the extra $75 for Brian
Hartgen's JAWS scripts.  The other thing about iPods is that you're
paying a lot more for what you get as far as capabilities go.  Sure,
there's some give and take no matter which way one looks at it, but
I'd prefer to have the expandable memory, have control of where I put
my files, and the ability to use it as a mass storage device if I
choose to.  Plus there's no touch screen challenge.

The iPod Touch is more like a PDA, rather large when compared to a
Sansa player, and a lot more expensive, especially if one drops it or
it gets stolen.  I myself have an iPod Touch, but I don't use it for
listening to my audio files, as it's very cumbersome to control when
compared to a Rockboxed Sansa Talking MP3 player.  I mainly use it for
the applications and use my Sansa Fuze for my listening pleasure.
Comparing these two devices is like comparing apples to oranges, no
pun intended. LOL!

Regards,

Laz

not sure what you get with Accessible Electronics, but with a utility called
VoiceBox, you can create voice clips for the folders and files on your
player, so you'll hear the names of the folders and files spoken when you
move around the file system of your MP3 player. You can also change the
batteries of the Sansa's and swap out the memory cards for more storage. You
can just use Windows Explorer to copy your music over to your MP3 player or
a music library manager like Winamp.

IMHO, the only other real option is the iPods from Apple. They'll probably
be a bit simpler to use, in that you don't have to use a utility like
VoiceBox to get the folders and files on your MP3 player spoken to you. You
don't have the option of just copying your files over to the iPod, you'll
have to use iTunes. The iPod Touch may also have more features than you're
looking for, but that's also one of its advantages.

Good luck in whatever you decide! I don't think you can go wrong either way!

Chris, you are right about the Mp3 players with Rockbox.
Accessible electronics is a very good site and they stand behind all of the 
products they sell.
I've had a few MP3 players that didn't have the voice feature and it was a 
real pain to even know when the player was on or offf.
