 The following got lost in my drafts folder so is a bit behind.

 I think I would buy a Book Port if it could record in good stereo from
 microphones.

 I keep looking for that magic unit that does what I want and is easy to 
 use.
 I see lots of mp3 players with voice recording and fm but there is always
 something I don't like about them or they are just to darn hard to use.

 What features do you want it to have?  Ultimately, I think one of the 
 best
 is Book Port, but then you may not be looking for a multi purpose device
 such as Book Port.  The great thing about it is that it is totally
 accessible, and since it uses flash memory cards up to 4 gigabytes you 
 can
 have a lot of music with you, and have more than one card so it is easier
 to have a large library of music, books, etc. and play them all on one
 unit.

 At half the price of the Book Port is the Olympus WS320M digital recorder
 and MP3 player.  It plays both MP3 and WMA, records only in WMA.  It is
 very small, runs on 1 tripple A battery, and can store 1 gigabyte of
 files.  It has a USB interface that makes copying files to it a very easy
 thing to do.

 There are lots of others that one could consider, and I'll just say these
 two happen to be my personal favorites because I own and use both of them
 regularly.

OK,  I'm confused.  I had heard that some IRivers are very accessible and 
user-friendly!  I went to eBay thinking I might find something helpful and I 
found nothing with more than 1 or 2 gb of space in the ifp 700-series.  I 
can't believe I wouldn't want a video iPod since it is already known to work 
with Rockbox!  Nick, I'm not sure what you mean since your statement doesn't 
reference any particular product.  First we think the iPod is great because 
it's able to hold music and books and then it's NOT COOL!  I'm going to hold 
off and seee what other MP3 players might be out there.

I've got an IFP 899 model from Iriver, and if that thing isn't 
accessible, then i dunno what is. Granted you *will* need sighted 
help to access the menus, but once you do, you can operate it like 
any other mp3 player.
Plus if you can get rockbox installed on other models like the h140 
or h340 series, that makes it accessible as well.
So, gotta agree with Nick here, what utter bullshit.

I have an Iriver IFP799 which differs slightly cosmetically from

  Sarah, yes.  So far as i know the IPod Nano will work with 
  rockbox.
  However, I have to discourage you from buying one, unless 
  you want an mp3
  player known to break in half.  Still interested?  I didn't

   What features do you want it to have?  Ultimately, I think one of
   the
   best
   is Book Port, but then you may not be looking for a multi purpose
   device
   such as Book Port.  The great thing about it is that it is totally

   you
   can
   have a lot of music with you, and have more than one card so it is
   easier
   to have a large library of music, books, etc. and play them all on
   one
   unit.
  
   At half the price of the Book Port is the Olympus WS320M digital
   recorder
   and MP3 player.  It plays both MP3 and WMA, records only in WMA.
   It
   is
   very small, runs on 1 tripple A battery, and can store 1 gigabyte
   of
   files.  It has a USB interface that makes copying files to it a
   very
   easy
   thing to do.
  
   There are lots of others that one could consider, and I'll just

   these
   two happen to be my personal favorites because I own and use both
   of
   them
   regularly.

Re: If you had to buy a mp3 player today

2006-09-09 Thread Nick G
Sarah, yes.  So far as i know the IPod Nano will work with rockbox. 
However, I have to discourage you from buying one, unless you want an mp3 
player known to break in half.  Still interested?  I didn't thinhk so.

 need the directory and file name information?   Have a great day.

   What features do you want it to have?  Ultimately, I think one of
   the
   best
   is Book Port, but then you may not be looking for a multi purpose
   device
   such as Book Port.  The great thing about it is that it is totally
   accessible, and since it uses flash memory cards up to 4 gigabytes
   you
   can
   have a lot of music with you, and have more than one card so it is
   easier
   to have a large library of music, books, etc. and play them all on
   one
   unit.
  
   At half the price of the Book Port is the Olympus WS320M digital
   recorder
   and MP3 player.  It plays both MP3 and WMA, records only in WMA. 
   It
   is
   very small, runs on 1 tripple A battery, and can store 1 gigabyte 
   of
   files.  It has a USB interface that makes copying files to it a 
   very
   easy
   thing to do.
  
   There are lots of others that one could consider, and I'll just say
   these
   two happen to be my personal favorites because I own and use both 
   of
   them
   regularly.

I agree.  We had a Milestone for about 20 minutes, grin.  Took it out 
of the box and played with it a bit, couldn't seem to get it to do 
much so we packed it back up and sent it back.  I've spent a bit more 
time on the iPod but it's looking like that one may go back too.

The thing with the Ipod is the Itunes software which isn't real accessible 
without paying for scripts. Also, if you were going to put Rockbox on, you 
would lose the ability to play stuff purchased on the Itunes store and other 
formats Apple put in it.

Do you have to get sighted assistance to get the serial number off the Ipod 
needed to register it with Apple so that it works?

I agree.  We had a Milestone for about 20 minutes, grin.  Took it out
 of the box and played with it a bit, couldn't seem to get it to do
 much so we packed it back up and sent it back.  I've spent a bit more
 time on the iPod but it's looking like that one may go back too.

Re: If you had to buy a mp3 player today

2006-09-07 Thread Arthur Barney
Hi Brent,
you don't need iTunes at all, if you use Anapod.
you have to buy Anapod, which has 3 different prices.
They are $20.00, $25.00, and $30.00. The $30.00 one will work with all 
iPods.

 The thing with the Ipod is the Itunes software which isn't real accessible
 without paying for scripts. Also, if you were going to put Rockbox on, you
 would lose the ability to play stuff purchased on the Itunes store and 
 other
 formats Apple put in it.

Re: If you had to buy a mp3 player today

2006-09-07 Thread Lynda Ingraham
Hi Jed, 

I am also new to ipods and all the ways to download music.  I am more than 
willing to share what I know, but may not use exactly the right terms.  If any 
more experienced users want to jump in and help out, thank you much.  

I have an ipod mini.  I purchased scripts in hopes of making itunes more user 
friendly.  I'm not sure at this point if it is my own lack of patience or what 
appears to be hoop jumping to get the simplest thing accomplished.  I have set 
the scripts aside for a while.  

Anapod, on the otherhand, has allowed me to paste files into my mini using a 
windows-type interface.  I set up a folder called Music Collection.  In this 
folder, I am organizing all my cd's.  When I find a song that I want to add to 
my ipod, I hit alt f, arrow down until I hear windows Ipod, and then hit 
return.  The song is then added to my mini.  I'm assuming adding the song 
through windows ipod is from Anapod.  It may not sound like much, but I have 
had this mini for well over a year and had to depend on a sighted friend for 
help.  Since he thinks the only way to download and manage music is through 
itunes, he wasn't very helpful about helping me think of alternative ways to do 
things.  I have nearly 10,000 songs that I am organizing.  I do need him to get 
some of my music out of itunes.  If he even thinks about fixing things for 
me, Pluto (the former planet of) will be his next stop!  I do appreciate it 
when people help, but last time he put all of my music into itunes where I 
couldn't do anything with it.  I'll probably back everything up before I let 
him near the machine.  

Hope this helped.

 accomplished.  I have set the scripts aside for a while.

 Anapod, on the otherhand, has allowed me to paste files into my mini using 
 a windows-type interface.  I set up a folder called Music Collection. 
 In this folder, I am organizing all my cd's.  When I find a song that I 
 want to add to my ipod, I hit alt f, arrow down until I hear windows 
 Ipod, and then hit return.  The song is then added to my mini.  I'm 
 assuming adding the song through windows ipod is from Anapod.  It may 
 not sound like much, but I have had this mini for well over a year and had 
 to depend on a sighted friend for help.  Since he thinks the only way to 
 download and manage music is through itunes, he wasn't very helpful about 
 helping me think of alternative ways to do things.  I have nearly 10,000 
 songs that I am organizing.  I do need him to get some of my music out of 
 itunes.  If he even thinks about fixing things for me, Pluto (the former 
 planet of) will be his next stop!  I do appreciate it when people help, 
 but last time he put all of my music into itunes where I couldn't do 
 anything with it.  I'll probably back everything up before I let him near 
 the machine.

 Hope this helped.

Do you have to get sighted assistance to get the serial number off the Ipod
needed to register it with Apple so that it works?

I agree.  We had a Milestone for about 20 minutes, grin.  Took it out
 of the box and played with it a bit, couldn't seem to get it to do
 much so we packed it back up and sent it back.  I've spent a bit more
 time on the iPod but it's looking like that one may go back too.

A person would be much better off to take the same amount of money they would 
pay for a Milestone and purchase a Book Port at the same price.

RE: If you had to buy a mp3 player today

2006-09-06 Thread André van Deventer
Hi all

Have just been wondering.  If vorbis  is such a popular format and so much
better, why is it not more widely used than mp3 in e.g. music services?  Is
there a lossless format for ogg vorbis?

 What features do you want it to have?  Ultimately, I think one of the 
 best

 is Book Port, but then you may not be looking for a multi purpose 
 device such as Book Port.  The great thing about it is that it is 
 totally accessible, and since it uses flash memory cards up to 4 
 gigabytes you can

 have a lot of music with you, and have more than one card so it is 
 easier to have a large library of music, books, etc. and play them 
 all on one unit.

 At half the price of the Book Port is the Olympus WS320M digital 
 recorder and MP3 player.  It plays both MP3 and WMA, records only in 
 WMA.  It is very small, runs on 1 tripple A battery, and can store 1 
 gigabyte of files.  It has a USB interface that makes copying files 
 to it a very easy thing to do.

 There are lots of others that one could consider, and I'll just say 
 these two happen to be my personal favorites because I own and use 
 both of them regularly.

this sounds fantastic and all around

you got more money than me.
I just don't have the necessary cash at the moment, and by the time I

Re: If you had to buy a mp3 player today

2006-09-06 Thread Brent Harding
I wonder if the digisette players would be the best, most accessible thing 
out? I heard once you navigate it to the proper file, you just pop it in a 
tape deck and press play. I thought I heard you could record in mp3 from it 
too, doubt you'd get CD quality sound out of that old tape machine this way 
though. I want something to load up podcasts and other longer shows to take 
with and sometimes play on the stereo. Are these worth it for the price, and 
will it sound good using it in the tape deck on the stereo? It'd be 
convenient, but I'm not sure on the quality.

Re: If you had to buy a mp3 player today

2006-09-06 Thread Nick G
Andr,e the lossless vorbis format is called Flac, though I'm hearing that 
WavPack is better, and it's also open source.  Why it isn't used more than 
mp3, maybe because the public seem to flock to closed up formats.  People 
like Apple don't seem to want anything to do with Vorbis, and mp3 seems to 
have the name recognition.
Thanks,

 Have just been wondering.  If vorbis  is such a popular format and so much

 Is
 there a lossless format for ogg vorbis?

  accessible, and since it uses flash memory cards up to 4 gigabytes you 
  can
  have a lot of music with you, and have more than one card so it is 
  easier
  to have a large library of music, books, etc. and play them all on one
  unit.
 
  At half the price of the Book Port is the Olympus WS320M digital 
  recorder
  and MP3 player.  It plays both MP3 and WMA, records only in WMA.  It is
  very small, runs on 1 tripple A battery, and can store 1 gigabyte of
  files.  It has a USB interface that makes copying files to it a very 
  easy
  thing to do.
 
  There are lots of others that one could consider, and I'll just say

Hi Terese and all,

I feel the Milestone is overpriced for its limited feature set.  Add the 
ability to play DRM formats like protected WMA and add support for 
verbalizing ID3 tags, replaceable batteries, etc.  Then, maybe, we're movin' 
in the right direction on this product.

 At half the price of the Book Port is the Olympus WS320M digital

Hi Nick and all,

Wonder if anyone is selling any MP3 players preconfigured with Rockbox?
Now, I think that'd be a deal for one of the blindness products companies?

Andr,e the lossless vorbis format is called Flac, though I'm hearing that
WavPack is better, and it's also open source.  Why it isn't used more than
mp3, maybe because the public seem to flock to closed up formats.  People
like Apple don't seem to want anything to do with Vorbis, and mp3 seems to
have the name recognition.
Thanks,

 Hi all

 Have just been wondering.  If vorbis  is such a popular format and so
 much better, why is it not more widely used than mp3 in e.g. music
services?
 Is
 there a lossless format for ogg vorbis?

That certainly is understandable.  If you can find a Creative Labs Nuvo I think 
there is a chance that you can get one for $100 or less, and they are fairly 
accessible.  There may be others, but I will admit to not knowing about the 
newest MP3 players in the less expensive market just because I haven't had the 
reason to look at them lately.  Maybe I need to shop around a little and see 
what is available.  The olympus WS320M that I mentioned is also available as 
WS300M with 256 megabytes of memory for around $150 and it plays both MP3 and 
WMA, it records in WMA.

 Hi Terese and all,

 I feel the Milestone is overpriced for its limited feature set.  Add the
 ability to play DRM formats like protected WMA and add support for
 verbalizing ID3 tags, replaceable batteries, etc.  Then, maybe, we're 
 movin'
 in the right direction on this product.

 Navigating menus in rock box is easy.  Just press the record button which
 is your menu key and you can arrow up and down through your menus.  In
 terms of recording while in the recording screen all though you can set
 your sample rate and bit rate, there is no way at least as far as I can
 tell when your in pause mode and when your not.

 What features do you want it to have?  Ultimately, I think one of the 
 best

 is Book Port, but then you may not be looking for a multi purpose device
 such as Book Port.  The great thing about it is that it is totally
 accessible, and since it uses flash memory cards up to 4 gigabytes you 
 can

 have a lot of music with you, and have more than one card so it is easier
 to have a large library of music, books, etc. and play them all on one
 unit.

 At half the price of the Book Port is the Olympus WS320M digital recorder
 and MP3 player.  It plays both MP3 and WMA, records only in WMA.  It is
 very small, runs on 1 tripple A battery, and can store 1 gigabyte of
 files.  It has a USB interface that makes copying files to it a very easy
 thing to do.

 There are lots of others that one could consider, and I'll just say these
 two happen to be my personal favorites because I own and use both of them
 regularly.

I, personally, would by the IAUdio X5 from www.cowonamerica.com.  It has a 
hard drive, is made out of nice metal, and cah use rock box, which makes the

mp3 player talk.  It, even out of the box, can play ogg Vorbis, which is 
something I look for always.

 What features do you want it to have?  Ultimately, I think one of the best

 is Book Port, but then you may not be looking for a multi purpose device 
 such as Book Port.  The great thing about it is that it is totally 
 accessible, and since it uses flash memory cards up to 4 gigabytes you can

 have a lot of music with you, and have more than one card so it is easier 
 to have a large library of music, books, etc. and play them all on one 
 unit.

 At half the price of the Book Port is the Olympus WS320M digital recorder 
 and MP3 player.  It plays both MP3 and WMA, records only in WMA.  It is 
 very small, runs on 1 tripple A battery, and can store 1 gigabyte of 
 files.  It has a USB interface that makes copying files to it a very easy 
 thing to do.

 There are lots of others that one could consider, and I'll just say these 
 two happen to be my personal favorites because I own and use both of them 
 regularly.

Book Port list price is $399 from American Printing House for the Blind 
www.aph.org.  The Olympus w WS320m is around $200 and can be purchased through 
places like Amazon.com.  Prices on the WS320M will be different from place to 
place, but it is readily available on the web, and some office supply and 
electronics stores probably also carry the Olympus.

Hi Nick.  I sure would be interested in a voice walkthrough of this product. 
Sweet that Rockbox supports it but I'd like to know how it operates and how 
easy it is to navigate.  An example is while recording.  When you pause 
several times,how do you know if it is paused or not.  How many steps does 
it take to do a quick voice recording?  What is the navigation method for 
menus.
