[Electronics-Talk] apple music and other music

[Aleeha Dudley]

Sero is an independently produced app, not affiliated with either organization, that has a lot of blindness specific content, not a lot of music.

>> Vince,
>> Thanks; I had forgotten about IHeart radio.
>> Would I be right in saying this service has ads and you select what station you want similar to a traditional radio?
>> Since it is free, do they limit how long you can listen to it at a time?
>> Does IHeart radio have a classical, soft rock, oldies and Christian music stations? I ask since I'd like to listen to that sort of radio station and our radio services in the DC area no longer have some of those options. I really miss 103.5 FM which used to be a classical station.
>> 
>> The subscription services such as apple music do not have ads is my understanding.
>> 
>> I actually listened to both tune-in and IHeart radio a few times on my laptop which is my mobile device for now.
>> 
>> Again, thanks, and its nice to know about accessible music services.

>>> Hi all,
>>> 
>>> I was wondering how accessible  apple music is and does it work best on apple’s ios devices which are the ipod touches, ipads, and the iphones?
>>> Not sure I can use it on a pc.
>>> Does that service have stations?
>>> Can you listen to tune-in radio for unlimited timing on IOS devices?
>>> 
>>> I was thinking of trying the music services such as spotify. I already tried pandora on my pc and found it only semi accessible.
>>> With pandora, the links are not visible with jaws and not all buttons are labeled. I use it a little and found that if I press enter on awords which are links, they still are activated.
>>> If I get a tablet, I definitely want to use streaming music but I heard accessibility can vary.  Also, affordability is a factor too so I’d have to weigh the costs.
>>> 
>>> The good thing about itunes is you can pay about a dollar for any song and then play them whenever you want to. Unfortunately, the  pc with itunes and jaws don’t seem to work too well. Its always very slow and I’ve never been able to find the buttons to buy songs. I tabbed around the frames. I figured out how to play my bought music, but needed sighted help to buy it.
>>> 
>>> Thanks for information.
>>> Ashley
