> Well, it turns out that the Coby MP200 MP3 player may be blind accessible

> years ago.  Like the Zen Stone, the Coby MP200, which is about the size of 
> a pack of chewing gum, has a concentric ring surrounding a Play-Stop/Power 
> button on its front panel.  Pressing and holding it for 5 seconds turns 
> the unit on.  Pressing the top of the ring increases the volume, and 
> pressing the bottom of the ring decreases the volume.  Pressing the right 
> side of the ring skips to the next track, while pressing and holding it 
> scans rapidly forward through the current track.  Pressing the left side 
> of the ring skips to the previous track,, while pressing and holding it 
> scans rapidly backward through the current track.  That's it.  It has no 
> display screen or navigation menus to deal with, just a LED power 
> indicator.  Unlike the Zen Stone, the Coby unit has no shuffle play mode, 
> so you  can only listen to tracks in the order they were downloaded, 
> which, presumably, can be easily accomplished using simple Copy and Pate 
> command.  With 2gb of memory, it has twice the storage capacity of the Zen 
> Stone, and as an added bonus, it can be used as a flash drive for data 
> storage.  It plugs directly into a USB port, but also includes a separate 
> USB cable as well as a set of earbuds.  It runs on a single replaceable 
> AAA battery (included) which is said to provide up to 8 hours of playing 
> time, rather than a sealed, nonreplaceable rechargeable battery, which, 
> for me, is a big plus.  So I went ahead and ordered one from J&R.  For 
> only ten bucks with free shipping, how can you go wrong?
