["Brian Hartgen" <brian.hartgen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

It will be a few days before I can get a new release posted of the iTunes
scripts because I want to do some more work on the iTunes music store which
I haven't got around to.  However, I know some of you are keen to try the
radio station functionality now available.  So if you want to try this out,
you must be familiar with unzipping files to specific locations.  

In order to do this, you will need:

Jaws for windows 6.2, no other version;
A valid copy of the iTunes scripts which has been authorised.

If all of the above is OK, go to
http://www.hartgen.org/itunes23.zip

Unzip the files into your local jaws settings folder. Your colour settings
will not be affected if we have provided tech support to you to ensure the
scripts work on your computer.

If the worst happens, simply delete the files from your jaws local settings
folder, and you will be back to what you had before.

Here is the relevant section from the manual relating to using the radio
stations.

RADIO STATIONS

iTunes allows you to browse through a variety of radio stations by genre,
and then select a radio station within the category of your choice.  You
must have an internet connection to take advantage of this functionality.

To access radio stations:

1.      Press the "Library Key".
2.      Press the letter "R" until you reach "Radio Stations".
3.      Press "TAB" once, and arrow through the list of categories.
4.      When you reach a category you would like to expand to reveal radio
stations for the genre, press "ITUNES MODIFIER+5".  
5.      Depending upon your internet connection speed, within a few seconds
the list of radio stations will be expanded.  JAWS will announce the name of
the category together with the total number of streams in the category.  Use
the arrow keys to explore the list.  You will hear the name of the radio
station and the sampling rate.  If you know about sampling rates, you will
be able to determine what the quality of the broadcast will be like.
6.      Press "ENTER" to listen to a radio station.  There will be a pause
while the radio station is located, and some radio stations may not work at
all due to the time they are broadcasting.
7.      Press "SPACE BAR" to stop the radio station playing. The volume can
be adjusted independent of the screen-reader in the way you would usually
adjust the playback volume.

To close a list of radio stations:

1.      Arrow to the category you wish to close. 
2.      Press "ITUNES MODIFIER+5".  JAWS will confirm that the category has
been collapsed.

If you arrow to the name of a radio station rather than the category name
and try to close it, JAWS will advise you that the category list cannot be
closed and to use the arrow keys to move to the name of a category.
