[nabs-l] ipod gesture questions

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hi all,

As I mentioned in the last message, I have an Ipod; it’s the ipod nano.
I got it for Christmas. They activated voice over on for me.

It’s a sleek lightweight thing and I’m amazed that technology can fit thousands of songs, books and data in these thin devices.
I struggle with itunes and  jaws too; it seems to be slow with jaws and I cannot tell where I am  like what folder I’m in, but that is a different story.

Anyway, I am trying to learn voiceover and gestures. I am getting better with double tapping it to execute functions.
I’m thankful though for the buttons on the side though to  make the volume go up and down and the middle button switches songs.

How do you move from screen to screen? I go into the music screen and select either albums or artists depending on what I want to search by.
Then, I’m stuck!
I see the list of albums, but only the first 7 or eight of them? How do you switch screens to see the rest of your albums? I have lots of albums in there so far; someone helped me sinc itunes and the ipod together. I need to scroll through the other screens to see my choices. 
I’m having trouble tapping the next track and previous track button because the volume button is so near it! Perhaps I’m moving my finger to the volume button and don’t even know it.
The smooth screen is definitely challenging. 

Also, can someone explain album art and what it does? Also, has anyone used the fitness feature? I heard it can track your workout somehow.
Is the fastest way to get to specific songs in an album to go to the track listing button while the album is playing?
Also, where do I buy bluetooth earphones? I wasn’t sure if you had to get them from Apple  or not.

Thanks.

Ashley
