RE: zenstone for totally blind comuter users
I just used Bing to search for Zen Stones, and I didn't find a lot for sale. Checking out eBay though did seem to yield quite a few results. -- Christopher chalt...@gmail.com -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of John Chilelli Sent: Wednesday, October 14, 2009 11:55 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: RE: zenstone for totally blind comuter users Hi Christopher and all, Does anyone know if there are any more 2gb or more Zen Stones around anywhere these days?

RE: zenstone for totally blind comuter users
It is true that you can use the program Creative Media Lite to rip from CD's, check the battery level, update the firmware, reformat the Zen Stone and copy music over to it, but you don't need to use this software just to copy music or other media files over. When you plug the Zen Stone into your PC's USB port, it shows up as a removable drive. You can then just use Windows Explorer to copy music over to the Zen Stone. -- Christopher chalt...@gmail.com -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of robert Doc Wright Sent: Wednesday, October 14, 2009 2:57 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: zenstone for totally blind comuter users I have two.

Re: zenstone for totally blind comuter users
I had a zen stone plus with a display, and at first, it was difficult to use until another blind user explained how to make it more user friendly. In all honesty, I wouldn't recommend the zen stone plus to anyone. I haven't tried the other models, but I think I'll just stick with the Ipod nano. - Original Message - From: "Christopher Chaltain" To: "'PC Audio Discussion List'" Sent: Wednesday, October 14, 2009 7:00 AM Subject: RE: zenstone for totally blind comuter users Yes, absolutely, however there are a few different flavors of the Zen Stone.

Re: zenstone for totally blind comuter users
Yes, if you buy Zenstone with speaker, it is accessible. It has know display, so it's the same with blind users, as well as sighted users. To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
