What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

The Milestone 212 Ace is a palm-sized audio player that reads DAISY books aloud and also plays audio books from NLS and Audible.com plus MP3, WAV, WMA and iTunes AAC files. It has six tactile buttons, so you can find and press them by feel. It also records quick notes or lectures with its built-in microphone, and it has a speaker, a headphone jack, and a rechargeable battery rated for about 15 hours with headphones. Earbuds aren't included, so plan on bringing your own if you want private listening.
