[Electronics-Talk] Accessible MP3 radio

[Ashley Bramlett]

Chris,

There still are several mp3 players out there but few talk.
Anyone tried the sony walkmans? I'm aware they have small buttons but not 
sure how accessible they are given the small lcd screen so even a low vision 
person cannot see it.

For a mp3 player radio combination, Sony  makes boomboxes which can play 
mp3s on a USB drive and includes a radio and some have a cd player. I've not 
used these models so cannot speak to accessibility, but because it has 
buttons, I will guess its operational by a blind user provided you can 
remember what button does what function.
I have a boombox by sony now which contains radios with speakers plus a cd 
player. Its fairly easy to operate except for the buttons to go to different 
radio stations only moves one frequency at a time so its time consuming to 
get to different stations; wish it had a keypad to press in the station I 
wanted.

Good luck.

Ashley

I will grant ya, I wish I knew of an mp3 player which had as good a
speaker internally as my iPhone XS, but I highly doubt that's ever gonna
happen this day in age. If there is one, anyone wanna get it for me,
since today's my BD? LOL! Just kidding. But no, seriously, yes, it
really is so.


Chris.
