Chris,
Thanks, I'll try that. I do not know if the Ipod's gestures are the same as 
the other I devices with internet connection.
I was using two fingers. hmm.
We will see if more fingers works. I also tried swiping across the screen 
horizontally which did not work.

Ashley,

If the iPod Nano's gestures are anything like the gestures in iOS, which 
they probably are, you would swipe up the screen with three fingers to go to 
the next page.

HTH,

Chris

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
