Hello again,

Do you mind sharing what was wrong, as it seems another user has a similar
problem with the language.
For playing music, Rockbox just reads the contents of the hard disk, not the
iTunes database. While it is possible to get Rockbox to do recognise the
music, I believe that it's much easier for a blind person to use the normal
method.
Instead of using iTunes to copy the music to your iPod, all you have to do
is copy the folder and the music files over to the iPod drive using your
operating system.
You may also wish to remove the music from the iTunes database as well if
you plan on using Rockbox exclusively.
Another feature of Rockbox which I find quite useful is the ability to play
small MP3 clips for folders. If you'd like to do this, check out the wiki
page at http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/VoiceHowto - specifically
the parts about _dirname.talk

Will.
