I would like to point out that the itunes registration is accessible
with window eyes which you can download a demo, nvda which is free and
system access to go which is also free and voice over which is built
in to the mac. so just because your cheezy jaws doesn't work doesn't
mean there is a catch. why don't you write freedom and have them fix
it because itunes works perfect with all the other screen readers on
the market.
