It is still tedious with Windows, but better than it used to be. As for movies ... Playing movies in iTunes on the PC is not for the faint of heart.
If you have a movie with video description, be sure that under iTunes settings on the Playback tab, the checkbox for Play Audio Description when available is checked. Open setting with Control+apostrophe and tab to the General tab, then right arrow or press control+tab to go toplayback settings. Tab to that checkbox and make sure it is checked. Tab to OK and hit enter when done. In the main iTunes window, tab to the music button and press space and arrow down to Movies and press enter. Here is the part that requires patience. After selecting movies, tab and you will go through the following: Library radio button checked Unwatched radio button not checked Store radio button not checked Library Sidebar Tree view Things change depending on which one of the choices above are checked, I leave mine on Library. When you get to the Library side bar, you can arrow up and down through how you want your movies organized. Things like: Genres Home Videos Downloaded Movies Recently Added Once you are on the one you want, tab through: Movie Playlists Button Show Button table When you get to Table, for me it is showing as a grid. I think that is the default. Now, depending on how many movies you have, you can right arrow through the first row, then I would left arrow back to the first one, then down arrow to row two, and again right arrow through that row. Of course, you could also down arrow at the end of row 1 and then left arrow back through row 2. Once you find the movie you want to play, press shift+f10 or your context menu key and you have choices: Context Menu Download Mark as Unwatched Add to Playlist sub menu Play "movie title" Movie Info Love Dislike Uncheck Selection Show in iTunes Store Copy Paste Delete from Library Obviously, you want to play the movie. Hit enter on Play. Once it starts playing, the spacebar will pause and you can tab through the following: play Button next Button Play iTunes Extras Button full screen Button 0:28 left right slider 0.3 percent -2:36:46 Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire volume left right slider 87 percent previous Button Then back to the play Button I hope that helps.

Is this still the case, or has accessibility improved? I'm using NVDA. Also, if I wanted to watch a movie on my PC that I bought through iTunes, can it be watched directly through iTunes or would I need to download some app in order to watch it on the PC? (needless to say, I have no experience with iTunes on a computer so unsure what is involved....) Thanks, Sarah -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
