Re: [orca-list] orca and the i-pod



GTKPod is a good option I guess, and I think that even the RythmBox music player included with Ubuntu can do it. The thing is that the new iPod nanos have talking menus, but these need to be configured using iTunes... So I guess you can't take full advantage of the iPod as a blind Linux user. I just got a new Nano this week too. You need to have it on first charge for three hours, that's what the manual says.
Enjoy it!

Subject: [orca-list] orca and the i-pod

i have just bought a 16 gig i-pod nano.
at the moment i have it connected to my compaq laptop and the
laptop is switched on and plugged into the wall socket in my
bedroom.
i turned the laptop on and ubuntu which is the only operating
system on it recognised there was an i-pod connected because when
i went down the list of icons, i-pod was spoken.
i tried to read the i-pod manual in ubuntu after downloading it
from the internet but orca doesn't seem to read pdf files or not
by default.
i tried to read the manual which comes with my i-pod on my
scanner but it doesn't speak very well.
i was trying to find information about how long i should have my
i-pod on first charge.
a lot of electronic equipment which has rechargable batteries
tends to advise a tenth or so hour first charge.
how long should i charge it for first charge and also now that
ubuntu recognises the i-pod as being attached to my laptop does
it mean that it is good to go so after my first charge i can just
transfer music files straight away using gtkpod or whatever?
