Chrome for Mac works well with speech. With a braille display, however, it
skips text frequently when advancing the display. I suspect this is an Apple
problem, as I've encountered it in some other places too.
It definitely works well enough for use with Primephonic, despite their web
site's accessibility issues.

Thanks for the tip about needing to use chrome. I was not aware of that,
and I have not use chrome on a Mac ever. I’m not using my Mac that much these
days to be honest. Back when I was, I recall there were serious issues with
chrome. But perhaps I should give it another look. Are there any tips? I guess
I should start a new thread for that. I have reported the accessibility issues
for the iOS app in particular, and also pointed out the plethora of unlabeled
graphics on the web player. But there is a lot more stuff that is labeled on
the web player, so it really is usable at least on the PC side, which is
off-topic for here I guess.

the lossless compression, it appears based on a review that you need to run
Google Chrome. This combination works well on my Mac, however. So far, I've
found the catalogue of available recordings to be very good.

I found, and was informed that they would be added to the issues list. Despite
some drawbacks, the Web player can be used quite effectively, and, as you note,
the iOS app needs accessibility fixes, though some of the shortcomings can be
worked around.

having to do with whatever shows up on the opening screens, such that you can
flip through and hear nothing from voiceover, but then flip back and hear what
the text is. But the search and browse and tabs etc., those are all accessible.
And they work well. If you are a classical music lover, you should really get
this app and take it for a 14 day free trial. The subscriptions are eight
dollars for the so-called premium subscription, which gives you 320 KBBPS which
is the same as Apple I think. Or $14 a month for lossless streaming of albums
that they have available with that format. If you are willing to pay for a
whole year, you can get a 17% discount off of either service. I think it’s
definitely worth checking into. I have not found a service like Spotify Apple
Music etc., that is so dedicated for classical listeners. So if you were one of
those, check it out.
