Hi Amie and Kathy.

Not too sure about JAWS 8 and 10 but I would think it would cope easily with the older versions of Itunes, 8.0 and 8.1. I used JAWS 9 with Itunes 8.1 for a long time and am now still using Itunes 8.1 but with JAWS 11.

Itunes has been improved, particularly with access to the store, in recent versions ov 9.X so I would suggest trying the latest version and maybe uninstalling and going back to one of the older versions if there's too many issues.

I've also pasted some details for an alternative way of accessing he Itunes store that maybe worth trying. I'd have to say though that I haven't tried this myself so can't vouch for it personally. There are also details for joining the portable player list at the end of the details which you may be interested in.

Regards.

Kevin

Hey all; found this last night and was pretty impressed.

How many of you hate having to open iTunes just to access the store?
It turns out that someone has written a google app that takes the
cryptic xml that the store is written in and converts it to normal
html. If that went completely over your head, it means that your now
able to access the iTunes stores through your web browser of choice.
http://app-store.appspot.com
I played with this last night with ie 7 and supernova 11.5 and was
very impressed with the accessibility of the pages. The nice thing is
that if you want to preview a track for example, you don't even have
to open up iTunes to do this. The preview file shows up as a file
download dialog and your able to play the downloaded files in vlc and
I'm assuming winamp as well.

Hopefully this will help someone.
Ben.

How does JAWS 10 get along with ITunes, please?
Thanks

Hi Kathy.

You can use Itunes as a general music library and player on your PC with no problems at all. If you purchase music from the Itunes store it will be in an Apple proprietary format, usually AAC, and you will need to convert it to

MP3 to play on other devices. You can do the conversion in Itunes itself by

browsing to the track or number of tracks and choosing convert.

There's a bit of a learning curve to Itunes and you need to have
compatibility right between your screen reader and the version of Itunes but

it's perfectly useable once you get into it.

Regards.

Kevin

Hi back atcha! No, I know I'd have to copy whatever music I download from
my PC to whatever MP3 device I want to play it on.  I have couple of
devices
I can use, none of which are an IPod. Is the only way you can play ITunes
on an IPod?  In that case, I won't even pursue using ITunes because I
don't
have an IPod of any kind. Oh, my, proprietary files make me so very sad!
Smile!

Peace,
Kathy
