Hi Kelsey,

I am using Jaws 13 with the latest version of ITunes and am not having any
major issues.  Granted, I also make all my purchases on my IPhone like
Katie, but as far as making playlists, using the radio, adding files and
folders to my library, managing my IPhone settings, and navigating my list
of songs in ITunes goes I am able to do all of that independently with
little to no problem.

If you're able to use an IDevice to make your purchases rather than your
computer, I would highly recommend it.  Especially since now you don't even
need to get someone to read the codes on the back of gift
cards with the new camera scanning option.   All you do is peel the
strip off the back of the card, go to redeem in the Itunes store at the
bottom of the page, and select the option to use your camera to redeem your
code.  Hold the card a few inches in front of the camera for a few seconds,
and the IPhone will recognize the code and will gather the information from
the card for you.  If you can do it this way, it would probably be much
easier for you.
