I don't subscribe to "Soundings" but am wondering if the article can be heard by non-subscribers? -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ray's Home" <rays-home@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "VI-Genaccess@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <vi-genaccess@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; "Access-Uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2007 3:15 PM Subject: [access-uk] Solutionsradio (another cassette replacement)Funny that nearly everyone missed this at Sight Village earlier this year. It is a completely accessible internet 'radio' but without the computer! So, it'll receive streaming audio from stations and services you select via a nice menu system that breaks things down into genres and individual services. Bit pricy at around £3.00, but RNIB and TNs are said to be interested. (It would pay RnIB to distribute this sort of device at a subsidy, I think, as itobviouslyavoids costs of posting out stuff. (No, not just referring toactualpostage costs.) Seems Americans are interested too, and I believe it has been bought by an Alaskan organisation. there is book marking and some fast forward and rewind capability. Only two things I'd say thus far. 1. No connectivity mentioned to the outside world. 2. No in-built recording facility, though easy enough to go backandjust stream again. This does seem a much better solution to cassette replacement forTNsand the like. (People could still send in contributions viawhatevermeans they want.)
