Kelsey, I wouldn't even use Windows products on an Apple device!
The IPod should have Voiceover on it, so I'd just use Voiceover, and leave it at that!
Blessings, Joshua

Subject: [nabs-l] jaws and itunes

Hello,
I know this subject may have come up before, but I wanted to know
what you think.  I did try to post it to a jaws-users list, but
my posts were not getting through so I'll post it here too.  I
have had an ipod for the past four years or so but someone else
took care of everything for me.  Now, I have started exploring
itunes using JAWS.  I have found it fairly accessible when
completing basic tasks such as importing a CD or playing my
itunes library, but it seems that itunes does not perform so well
when trying to do things like creating a qlaylist.  I can click
the new qlaylist button, but I cannot actually create a qlaylist.
I have found a way to use the itunes store, but it is very time
consuming.  It takes me 5 minutes to purchase a song from the
itunes store because I actually have to do it through a google
search.  Then once I get to the itunes page, I have to click the
view in itunes link from which point I can click the buy button
and then go through the steps, but like I said it's a long
process.  So what I am wondering is: What tricks have you found
work for you in using itunes? I am currently running JAWS 14 with
itunes 10.  There are no scripts for itunes 10, but I could get a
script for 11 which would cost me $6.99.  Is it worth the money
to get the script and just relearn 11 or should I try to learn
how to do it without a script with 10? I also have problems with
syncing.  The issue is that when you sync your ipod, there is a
little icon that says something like "safely disconnect ipod."
Does JAWS speak this along automatically or is the something I
would have to ask a sighted person to do? I am getting tired of
having to ask someone to help me every time I want to sync my
ipod since I am pretty proficient on the computer to begin with.
Anyone who uses JAWS and uses itunes, please share your thoughts,
techniques, keystrokes etc you use to help you navigate itunes
independently.
Thanks,
Kelsey Nicolay
