This week, on the Assistive Technology show, we look at different ways to listen to audio on the go. In the past, we've discussed using portable MP3 players, the Victor Stream and the new accessible iPod, but what's it like to actually use one of these devices? MP3, OGG, AAC, what's it all mean? How complicated is it to digitize audio, to put it on a portable device and finally to actually listen to it? On this week's show, we'll attempt to answer these questions and much much more. Whether you use a portable device for listening to audio and have experiences to share, or if you're interested in exploring the possibilities of taking audio on the go, this week's show is for you. In addition to your experiences and questions, I'll also be demonstrating the talking menus available in Apple's newest 4TH generation iPod Nano.
