Hi Clive

the Zenstone players allow you to copy and paste, but you have no speech to
inform you of artists or tracks.  For that you will need a player with
Rockbox.  The Sansa Fuse is probably your best bet, and you can purchase it
from the US with rockbox already installed so that it will talk out of the
box.  there are models up to 8GB and you can also use mini SD cards which
will increase your storage space.  I do not have any more info to hand but
will try to find more precise information and report back shortly.

I have one of these Sansa players and it works very well.

Hi all,

I'm now beginning to think that the Apple ITunes programme and IPods may not
be for me. I can't run to a Victor player upwards of £200 at present.

Are there any portable players out there which   :

are Easy for a VI person to use;
don't rely on syncing from within complex computer programmes but instead
let you copy and paste mp3 files from your computer to your portable device;
have at least 4gb storage capacity, or play music stored on SD cards.

I've heard it said that all portable players need you to sync from your
computer through ITunes, Windows Media Player or whatever. I've heard other
people say that this is nonsense.

#so, does the device I want actually exist?

Thanks,
Clive
