I use Window-eyes but you can do the same thing in JFW. You'll need to use
your virtual cursor a lot, at least I think that's what it's called in JFW.
Itunes automatically creates a few smart play lists like party shuffle and
audible and stuff like that. The problem is that when you're reading the
screen you can't tell what is a smart play list and what is an option like
music store, at least I can't, but I only use mine for Audible books, so let
me use that as an example. It works the same way as music files. But first
let me say that if you want to just transfer music files than Anapod is the
way to go for Windows based PC's. The software works like Windows Explorer
and is cheap.
Ok, there's in my example something you will be looking for on the screen
called audible. This is a smart playlist. A smart playlist is your library
filtered. In this case it would be all your Audible books in your library.
It will search your hard drive for the audible books. What you need to do
is find that list and ddrag it over to the ipod and drop it. Same with any
other play list like library. I'm not sure how to configure the playlists
because I haven't done it in a while but seems like from what I can remember
it was easy. The only reason I still use Itunes is because the Audible
plug-in doesn't work right for the shuffle in Anapod. By the way, drag and
drop works for single files as well as playlists.

Hi
I have been struggling over the past day or so to use an Apple IPod
Shuffle with ITunes, and I wondered if anyone could please provide me with
any useful tips.
Essentially, jaws does not seem to read very much of the ITunes software
screen at all, however despite this I have worked out that I can add MP3
files to what they call my library. Once I do that and save the my
library file, this allows me to play each file and move through them,
playing a part of each one. So far so good.
The problems i have at the moment are:
A. Transferring the files to the IPod Shuffle. Even though I go to the
file menu, and click update IPod, and I get a message to say that the IPod
is updated, files do not seem to be on the unit itself.
B. Deleting files or interacting with the files in my library seems to be
very difficult, since even using the jaws cursor, I certainly cannot see
as much of the screen as a sighted person is able to do. I note that the
March issue of access World produced by the American Foundation of the
Blind states that using a screen-reader's screen review mode, you can
explore the screen contents, but I have not been able to thus far.
To reiterate, if anyone can provide any useful guide to the successful use
of this application, I would really appreciate it.
Thank you.
