Date: Fri, 23 Sep 2005 14:15:15 -0600 That's right Brian, With the awesome scripts from TNT consulting my IPOD Shuffle 1GB is an awesome member of my otherwise rockbox supported MP3 player family. The only issue I have with your scripts is the cost. Those mighty British quids transfer into a hefty $100 in my puny but resilient Canadian dollar. So right now I can only run the ten minute demo. If you blind guys out there try these scripts please, please read the documentation very carefully before running them down. If you follow the install docs you will find that they work beautifully. Cheers & keep on rocking with rockbox...rocker ----- Original Message ----- From: "brian hartgen" <brian_at_hartgen.org> To: "Rockbox" <rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se> Sent: Friday, September 23, 2005 1:28 PM Subject: Re: Why not iPod? > iTunes is accessible with jaws for windows right now. > > Brian Hartgen > E-MAIL: brian_at_hartgen.org > MSN: brian_at_hartgen.org > SKYPE: brianhartgen > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Sarai" <bucc7465_at_bellsouth.net> > To: "'Rockbox'" <rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se> > Sent: Friday, September 23, 2005 7:31 PM > Subject: RE: Why not iPod? > > >> John, >> If you guys make it accessible i.e. it will speak, a lot of blind people >> will be happy, but you also have to make Itunes accessible as well, even >> though there is an alternative program out there to replace Itunes, its >> not that great.
