[Hidden-tech] iPod shuffle - talking books?/beware

[Robin MacRostie]

thank you Michaelbix.   i will take that to heart.

For I am a Mac user and person and not interested in using my brain  
cells to sort and unscramble technologies that require negotiators,  
medators and fixes for the mediators. Is the Sansa really as good and  
as compatible with a Mac?   How is it for music?

is there more than one grade or Sansa?  Or is the hardware /software  
the same but different features?
