Hi Donna,
I'd be interested in knowing this as well. Currently, I hold down either arrow
key for a few seconds until VO informs me that I'm at the top or bottom of the
message list. It doesn't say that specifically, but when at either end, speech
is heard and I know I''m at the top or bottom
ok, for one, I tried subbing to the group for IPod and IPhone support, but
it's teling me the list doesn't exist. This may be a question for ester or
some of you real savvy IPod users. although anyone, feel free to answer.
Now you tell me, this is not totally bizarre. I have one playlist set
I almost forgot:
If I am in the now playing sceen, on hover on the album graffic art work,
then flick left a few times to the album tracks button, if I double tap
that, o yeah, it brings up all the tracks, but starting from 1, working
down, again, they're in alphabetical order, not album order.
Guies, disregard my last post. I think I found the issue with my sorting.
I'm not totally! sure yet, but I can almost! guarantee.
I'll let you all know if my theory winds up not being correct.
Chris.

Glad it was helpful Israel. Sometimes I would also type the letters

It works OK in Word.

I agree but I think SA, the no cost online and the low cost free standing

professional documentation, help files and tutorials. These can go far
especially among seniors new to the whole thing.

"Recently Added" is just a smart playlist. I'm not sure why it

I can't whole hartedly agree with you on this one. Given the level of

developers to try to compete.
On top of that, there are other factors in accessibility besides a screen
