I can't answer your question, but just to set you straight on something, iPods and iTunes have both been accessible for years. Ever heard of Rockbox? It's a free piece of software that you install onto your iPod, almost like installing a program onto your computer. All menus are accessible, and files and folders of content are spelled rather than spoken in whole words because the iPod itself, not being a real computer, isn't capable of running the kind of software required for text to speech applications. OK, so how does Rockbox speak the menus? A very old but proven technology called stored vocabulary, where phonetic portions of words are strung together to make whole words and phrases. You can load music onto an iPod by plugging in to a USB port on your computer and it appears as just another disk drive, or you can use iTunes together with a snazzy set of JAWS scripts from Brian Hartgen/T&T Consulting, or you can wait for JAWS version 10 to come out and use their supplied scripts with the just- or soon-to-be-released iTunes version 8.
