>>> Hey Pris,
>>>
>>> First of all, you can't record on the ipod nano.
>>>
>>> After you buy your new ipod, and download itunes, you'll connect your
>>> ipod to your PC and start the itunes application.  You'll need a
>>> screen reader to access itunes.  In itunes, under settings, there's a
>>> check box to enable speech on the ipod.  You'll check this box.
>>>
>>> When itunes transfers music to your ipod, it will generate little
>>> recordings of a text to speech engine saying the titles of all your
>>> songs.  I don't know yet if it will do the same for the album, artist,
>>> genre, etc. of your songs.
>>>
>>> Then, when you unplug your ipod, you'll be able to use the ipod
>>> controls to move around your music, and the ipod will "say" each song,
>>> by playing the recorded text to speech for each song.
>>>
>>> Its not clear to me yet if this is a better solution than, say, the
>>> stream, which is fully accessible.  Itunes/iPod have two things going
>>> for it.  First, the ipod has better sounding audio. Second, you can
>>> use itunes to purchase TV shows, movies, etc. that will only play on
>>> your ipod.   The stream will only play "DRM free" music, like that you
>>> can buy from Amazon, and movies/TV shows from Serotek.  Serotek is a
>>> subscription based service that has a much more limited selection of
>>> movies and TV shows than iTunes.  However, Serotek's content does have
>>> audio descriptions, which is nice.
>>>
>>> Hope that answers your questions,
