I don't think we can do that on the players. They only support a short
press or a long press of a button.

How would it be useful to sighted users? It would probably contain:
-A quick way to hear the time and battery level
-Spell the current file name
-volume
-create .talk clip (maybe)
-voice

So it is probably only useful to blind users.
What does everyone think?
