Subject: [Perform-talk] CD Baby Accessibility issues, a plan

Hi all,
After reading the posts from Ken, Beth, Marion and Masha, I decided to have
a go at the new CD Baby myself. I am a member artist as well as a Sound in
Sight artist. Not only was I unable to preview songs, but once Jaws 9 or 10
had been up, even turning it off did not allow my sighted husband to access
the Preview function. He had no problems before turning on Jaws.

My thought is that, I would be willing to write an article about this for
American Chronicle, if I can get several people who have had issues to allow
me to use their names and comments. I would also need from them some of the
standard details that the press generally includes in mainstream articles,
such as location, age or vocation/student status. 
If any of you are interested, please contact me offlist at:
dwhill at epix.net

Ken, I would particularly like to quote from the letter you received from
them, so I hope you can participate in this. I will also contact the
president of the Performing arts Division, Dennis Holston to see if he would
like to issue a statement. I will also post something about this to the
Music Thoughts e-mail list, which was started by Derek Sivers, the founder
of CD Baby.

I am also putting together a list of blind recording artists who use the
list to include in the article, so if anyone knows of any let me know. 
I'm aware of Lisa Ostrow's page and the Sound in Sight page as well as my
own, of course.
Donna Hill
