Howdy, Janel,
We use Transcend's 8GB T-Sonic 320 mp3. Great little products
(http://www.transcendstore.com/ts8gmp320.html) for only 70 bucks each.
They also have a voice recorder, radio, time, multi-language support,
and are just as small as a pocket flash drive. In fact, they have a USB
interface, and can even be used to lock & secure files with the software
that comes with it. We don't really use additional external speakers, as
most folks just connect them to USB ports to play the files on the
desktop computers in smart classrooms.

Hello,
One of our programs would like to purchase some portable audio players
to
easily store and play their course audio materials to use in class. It
seems to me they would need the player and then a set of portable
speakers.
Just curious as to what you are all using and what you would recommend.
I've heard good things about the iRiver & Creative devices but I am also
interested in finding some speakers that will give enough sound for a
traditional class of 25-30 students. We do have one set of the JBL on
Tour
speakers that give a great sound, just wondering if there are other
devices
we should be looking at that are being used happily on other campuses.
Thanks in advance for the info!
-Janel
