I am curious to know if anyone has an ipod that uses apple with i tunes. If so how do you navigate it with jaws? My friend is trying to figure it out and he is new at the computer. All help is needed. Thanks.

Honestly, the best way is to pick up Anapod Explorer from Red Chair Software. It opens your iPod just like a Windows Explorer window, and lets you cut and past, or drag and drop songs onto the iPod. Once they're there, it organizes them correctly. It costs $20.

Anapod is a good buy and the company is quite supportive. There is even an option for betterkeyboard focus. I use it on my Creative labs zen player and love it.

I like the shuffle. It holds about 160 songs with room to still act as a USB drive, and run both firefox and jaws off it. I also like how it has the USB built into it not a cable, I take it to work every day

Ipod Nano's OK. Someone suggested it earlier in this topic when I was looking for new Ipod anyway, so I got one. They're fairly straightforward to use, the 2 GB models anyway, and I cope alright with Itunes too.

Hey all, I'm interested in getting an Ipod and my neice has one, but I can't feel where my fingers are supposed to go on there because there's no raised buttons on there at all. And besides, the nanoes are expensive. Should I give up on getting one all together? Lauren

No. Here in the UK, an Ipod Nano costs just £129, not £300 like they were when they first came out, and that included a docking station with carry case and connecters for most models of Ipods from Argos. The nano has a circle round the outside and you can find the buttons to skip, stop, play and go in to the menues at 3.00, 6.00, 9.00 and 12.00, as you'd locate your food on a dinner plate, and a much smaller circle in the centre of the big circle, is the Sellect button, if you were to go through the menues and sellect your songs that way. Mine's charging on my PC as I sit here and type this post right now.

If you are interested in getting an mp3 player, you might want to have a look at www.rockbox.org. Rockbox is a free open source firmware for some mp3 players. On some of the models Rockbox supports, you can set it to speak menus and file names. But be careful to be sure that the model you want really supports speech. Check it out on the site or subscribe to their mailing list to ask people about accessibility!

Rockbox even works with some iPods as well. A friend is giving me one, and I'm going to put rockbox on it.
