[nabs-l] jaws and itunes

[Kaiti Shelton]

Hi Justin,

What specifically are you referring to when you say, "All of this?"  I
use ITunes and Jaws for everything I can, but the redeem using camera
feature I described is an IPhone thing.

I've been an ITunes user since I got my first IPod almost 10 years ago
and have never really encountered the significant problems with ITunes
and Jaws that people have complained about.  With the exception of
using the store in recent versions of ITunes, I've been able to use
the program even without scripts a lot, especially with the hot keys
including space and the left and right arrows for playback.  A lot of
it is just tabbing and shift tabbing around, and knowing how to cut
corners with shortcuts.
