Hi Ken, my personal view is that you need to look at music in the context of what else you might like to do on the go. For example, if you use a cell phone or might like to, then getting an accessible cell phone with a good music player, such as those from Nokia, might be the best option. The Victor Reader Stream will play NLS books, which in North America is certainly a factor, however other than this, I see no point in it at all. It is another device to carry around. The Stream sells fairly well in North America, where the smart phone culture is not well established. But on the Nokia N82 I have, not only can I read print on the go with the KNFB Reader mobile, but I can also play DAISY books, work with MP3 files in a very accessible and flexible way, listen to Audible content and download podcasts right from the phone. So there is no need to carry another device around with me that duplicates those functions. If you don't want an accessible cell phone, then there are many portable music playback options. The Stream is certainly worth considering and that will also read DAISY and regular texts. You might even look at an iPod Shuffle which is very easy to operate and small. This will play music and Audible books, but not DAISY. There are many more, the Zenstone seems quite popular. And let's not forget the iPod Nano, which talks now.

Re: New podcast concerning the new talking iPod Nano.
Bruce, I agree completely. I just bought a stream a couple of weeks ago and I love it. I use it for books and music and wouldn't be without it. When not using it with headphones I'm plugging it into a set of speakers where it sounds great too. It's a great way to listen to Audible books, which i use a lot.The only thing that I didn't buy as part of the package was their Sd card. I wanted 16 gigs and got a much better card price with lots more size at Tiger Direct.

RE: New podcast concerning the new talking iPod Nano.
Is it possible that you tried the Stream's MP3 capabilities before they added independent bass and treble control for music? The Stream was designed first and foremost as a book reader, and its music capabilities are kind of a work in progress. You won't find a better player anywhere for Audible content, there are the NLS books (applicable for Americans only), its DAISY capabilities are second to none, and for something so small, the voice recorder feature is absolutely fantastic. It's not everyone's answer, of course, people have different needs depending on geography, lifestyle, and financial considerations, but it is one answer that has worked and does work for many. bruce -- Bruce Toews Proud JAWS User Skype ID: o.canada E-mail and MSN/Windows Messenger: [EMAIL PROTECTED] LiveJournal: http://masterofmusings.livejournal.com Web Site (including info on my weekly commentaries): http://www.ogts.net Info on the Best TV Show of All Time: http://www.cornergas.com On Sat, 20 Sep 2008, Dave McElroy WA6BEF wrote: The stream is a great product, but I have to say that I don't think its MP3 quality is that hot.

RE: New podcast concerning the new talking iPod Nano.
Hi Andre, the N82 has stereo speakers, and in my view is one of the poorer sounding N-series phones in terms of its speakers, but they are still quite adequate for speech. The audio is very clear and I have no problems listening to podcasts or audio books. Most of the time when I listen to books on the go, I am using headphones though.

Re: New podcast concerning the new talking iPod Nano.
Hi I spent 600 bucks for an ipod video 30 gb a while back. I also have a victor reader stream. Now, of course, ipods are totally overpriced compared with mainstream mp3 players. I don't know why, but a 2 gb ipod costs twice as much as a 4 gb regular mp3 player. The stream? I love the thing. I'll never be without it. It can do so much and its half the price of that ipod. The ipod stil rules in terms of music playback, since I put rockbox on it (I recommend that to anyone, too, you can get a sandisc sansa mp3 player and they work darn good.) The streams audio recording might be a bit bad, but who cares! It kills the book port and many other mp3 players I've used, and I don't think humanware put much work into it- and I mean that as a compliment. Humanware did such a great job on that thing that the stream is now my book port- I'll take it wherever I go. The ipod, too, because they both have there uses. I think now that this ipod might just be what us blind folks are looking for in the accessibility longterm- as long as apple keeps providing speech feedback, anyway. Maybe other mp3 player venders might start doing the same- afterall, think about it. Sited people could use the speech feedback to there advantage- while driving, while running, while working out at the gym. contact details: email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and others msn: [EMAIL PROTECTED] skype: the_conman283 system details: Hp pavillion dv5220CA notebook pc AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile Technology ML-37 2.0 GHZ, 1024 mb DDR ram, Fujitsu 100 gb 4500 RPM Hard Drive, connecsant AC-link audio - Original Message - From: Bruce Toews [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Saturday, September 20, 2008 2:14 PM Subject: RE: New podcast concerning the new talking iPod Nano.

To the best of my knowledge, that's the only DAISY player for Symbian. You can download the software for a 30 day demo. Unlike some of Code Factory's other applications, this one isn't tied to Mobile Speak, meaning that even if you're a talks user, you can use it. I found a bug where it was having issues with NFB Newsline content, and they confirmed it saying that it'd be fixed in the next release. That may well be on their site already. Again an advantage of this approach is that if you receive Newsline content by e-mail for example, you can use the e-mail client on the phone to download it, and read the content all on the go. Very cool for picking up daily newspapers. Best of luck.

Hi Ken, my personal view is that you need to look at music in the context of what else you might like to do on the go. For example, if you use a cell phone or might like to, then getting an accessible cell phone with a good music player, such as those from Nokia, might be the best option. The Victor Reader Stream will play NLS books, which in North America is certainly a factor, however other than this, I see no point in it at all. It is another device to carry around. The Stream sells fairly well in North America, where the smart phone culture is not well established. But on the Nokia N82 I have, not only can I read print on the go with the KNFB Reader mobile, but I can also play DAISY books, work with MP3 files in a very accessible and flexible way, listen to Audible content and download podcasts right from the phone. So there is no need to carry another device around with me that duplicates those functions. If you don't want an accessible cell phone, then there are many portable music playback options. The Stream is certainly worth considering and that will also read DAISY and regular texts. You might even look at an iPod Shuffle which is very easy to operate and small. This will play music and Audible books, but not DAISY. There are many more, the Zenstone seems quite popular. And let's not forget the iPod Nano, which talks now.

Re: New podcast concerning the new talking iPod Nano.
Excellent, very good! Well the more podcasts we have about this sort of thing then the better, I notice for example that there are 4 or 5 (perhaps half a dozen) different podcasts doing the rounds on the Cobolt Speech systems Ital device and there are already at least 2 Podcasts dealing with the Ipod Nano 4G Gordon Smith has done a Podcast on the Ital and (I haven't checked as yet) but I think he was also going to do something with the 4G Nano, anyway you can find Gordon's Playroom in the place where you'd expect to find podcasts, in the Itunes Store of course! and yes, free content is listed as well as content to purchase smile.

The problem I have with these devices is the same old 1 and that comes down to how much money you have. If you can't afford an Ipod Nano (and I accept that perhaps you can't) smile, then there are some other great alternatives out there and I mention this just to show that I'm not bias towards Apple Ipods in any way but what I do have a bias against are products which are so expensive in order that they be accessible, in other words products exclusively designed for the blind but that's another topic for another day smile. First, take a look at the Creative Zenstone line of players and (even better than that I'm told) take a look at some of the Sandisk players. Now if you want an Ipod that's perfectly accessible then perhaps you can take a look at one of the Shuffles, if you can use a CD player then you can certainly have a good shuffle.

Re: New podcast concerning the new talking iPod Nano.
That's handy for some people but I have to confess, I'm all for convenience. I want a MP3 player and its cheap then fine! I just got to my local store and buy! what's require, no paper work, no need to fill out application forms, no need to talk to half a dozen different people and more importantly, I can say I purchased what I have off my own back without relying on Governments and company's to help the poor blind man, yes there are deserving cases of course!.

But anyway, ATT are offering some very good subsidies on some of this technology. In fact I think you can get a Nokia phone with Code Factory's Mobile Speak Pocket for less than the cost of a Stream. The KNFB Reader may be a problem, but where there is a genuine vocational need, funding has been made available. So it is an option that may cost less than many people think. Also I think to really work out the cost, it's important to calculate the individual devices separately, IE, a not very accessible or poorly featured phone plus MP3 player.

Re: New podcast concerning the new talking iPod Nano.
I don't subscribe to the view of using a mobile phone for a Mp3 player for the following reasons, the one Rick has mentioned is one I certainly appreciate. I have a n95 Nokia phone here with talks and yep! it plays MP3 files but let's face it, the N95 phone's primary design was intended to make and receive phone calls, send SMS messages thus things like MP3 players are secondary in nature and you certainly notice this when playing MP3's. firstly you get a bit of hiss, I'm assuming this is from the amp somewhere along the line, I find it very annoying in quiet passages. Next the MP3 player inserts needless 2 second gaps between songs. Third, as a phone its more important I should think to receive calls so given the fact that the Mp3 player only lasts for 7 hours on a single battery charge then one has to wonder, how much power that takes away from the batteries standby and talk time capacity, so what do you say when someone is trying to reach you and you've flattened your battery through playing MP3 files? Ah sorry you couldn't get me, was playing MP3 files smile. So given all that, I think it makes perfect sense to look at something else for a MP3 player such as an Ipod, Zenstone or Sandisk, all of which have far longer battery life and all of which are so small that they're easy enough to carry beside something else, I've seen someone who has a sort of a fold-out wallet, one side contains his phone whilst the other contains his Nano, neat! and its all in his pocket.

So there is no need to carry another device around with me that duplicates those functions. If you don't want an accessible cell phone, then there are many portable music playback options. The Stream is certainly worth considering and that will also read DAISY and regular texts. You might even look at an iPod Shuffle which is very easy to operate and small. This will play music and Audible books, but not DAISY. There are many more, the Zenstone seems quite popular. And let's not forget the iPod Nano, which talks now.

You do need to connect the Nano to iTunes to configure it, but once those recordings are transferred to your nano, you don't need to be connected to iTunes to have the speech.

I am cross-posting this to several lists, as the content of this podcast concerns all who are interested in this unique little device. I take you on a tour and a demo of the new, and I mean brand new, talking iPod Nano 4th generation. I also demonstrate some features of Itunes with the Mac and the iPod. Sorry, Windows users, I do not know how to use Itunes under your operating system, so I trust someone will do a fine Windows podcast very soon concerning this very subject.

RE: New podcast concerning the new talking iPod Nano.
Keith, if you had read the original message, you would have seen that Shane mentioned he couldn't comment on the iTunes experience from a Windows perspective, because he is a mac user. I responded by saying for those who were interested in iTunes for Windows, I would be covering it.
