I don't know what is different in tthe later ipod models tha renders the 
scripts useless when viewing the list of tracks on the ipod itself. All I know, 
is that instead of a music submenu showing up with jaws, I see a playlists 
submenu instead. I don't have sighted assistance, so I cannot tell you if 
colour changes are causing the problem. The models effected are the ipod 
classic, and the 3rd gen nano, from what I have seen.

          Hi Kim
   
  OK what you say is interesting, but of course there are many people who do 
not have the ability to use the jaws cursor and manage their purchases from the 
iTunes Store and manage burning CD's etc without to some extent some guess 
work.  But let's take your point about the later iPod Nano models because 
obviously I do not have access to each and every iPod product.  It would be 
helpful if you could let us know what it is that is causing the problem in 
terms of reading the tracks stored on the device.  Is the colour different? Are 
the items not in their own list such as the other iPod products?  Please let me 
know what it is and I am sure we can work on it, but without knowing it's a 
little tricky ...

  Hi,
   
  I have a friend who has been using itunes without jaws scripts for as long as 
she has used ipods. about 5 months to be a little more precise. The scripts for 
jaws
  from my experience do not make the library/ipod contents visible with an ipod 
classic, or the 3rd generation nano, because firmware in those ipods is changed 
just enough to throw them off. X-play 3 is out now, and provides accessibility 
to the music transfering on and off the ipod, as well as restoring and updating 
the device. Its price is much more reasonable too, with two computer licenses 
for $39.99 US. With itunes, I have used commands from within itunes itself to 
transfer a whole library, instead of using the scripts. They are not accurate 
100% of the time, and as I said before, do not work with the classic or nano 
for the purpose of tranfering music.

  I want to clarify my previous post so as not to have peple fly off the
handel with an incorrect interpretation. I have nothing against the
authors of these scripts making money from the product they are
putting a lot of very respectable work in to. The opinion stated was
that it is functionality that should be included in the huge
investment in JAWS. It is not to afend those who put much appreciated
hard work in to a product that does make it work quite nicely.
