Right, but, most people who live in the US are eligible for the free NLS player which does the job nicely. the only down side to that free player is that it's quite large. This was done intentionally to facilitate people who have various physical disabilities as well as those who are elderly

This is very helpful. Thanks! :) Now, I'm just trying to figure out if this device is worth the money. I've heard both mac and PC users who are blind say that it's the best money they spent on an AT product, so I'm trying to figure out if I really need it given the great Apple stuff I have.
