Re: Is there such a thing as a blind friendly player that plays bothRAXand Wma/drm files?
Hi, Well, if you do everything in MP3, or OGG, depending on the size there are a few options. A good site is http://anythingbutIpod.com They review a lot of MP3 players, not all of them by a long shot mind, but they've got a lot of info on there, and there are forums so you can see what kinds of problems are happening, firmware updates, how features work, all that. I have a Sansa E260 and I can record, switch to FM and somewhat browse my music. I've used an MPIO Fy500 that I can switch FM and music. Like I say, check out that site.

I don't care if it plays RA, or wma really, since I do everything in mp3, although, if it does ogg, I guess I won't complain, but, not something I'd expect for a reasonably priced player. What I mean by reasonably blind friendly, is that one can do more than just use the play, rewind and fast forward with some ease. It doesn't have to be a talking product to be user friendly. ___ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This list is a service of MosenExplosion.com.

RE: Is there such a thing as a blind friendly player that plays bothRAXand Wma/drm files?
Well, not sure what you want a player to do besides the basics. I have previously used an iRiver flash player, ifp 795, and just 2 days ago got the newer version, T30 512 MB flash player. Both have predictable menus which, if you are good at memorizing the features you want, you can use it pretty effectively. I got one of my kids to change the settings I prefer to always stay the same. But, the feature I most enjoy is the playback speed adjustment. It goes from 0% to 50 percent in 10 percent incriments. It is easy to memorize the sequence of buttons. The features I like changed are: Fast forward and rewind speed increased from 1x to 6x. Study mode turned on: this changes the forward and rewind buttons so that tapping it will not change tracks but will move ahead or back a set number of seconds, like 3 or 10 seconds. Auto power shut off time increased to a longer time period.
