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!
