[access-uk] Re: I-tunes

Hi Carol

I'm using it on Martin's Mac to connect my iPod and transfer music when I
want to.  But I don't think I'll ever like it.  I keep all my music in
folders and can put my hands on it instantly for transferring in Windows.
But you can't do it the same with iTunes regardless of whether it's Mac or
Windows, and I detest it with a passion.  But it won't stop me using Apple
products though, I just have to put up with the aspect I don't like in order
to benefit from it, (smile).  As I said before, I know sighted friends who
hate iTunes, that's before we even get to the screen reader part of it.  It
seems to be as clear-cut as liking or hating it, and my feet are firmly in
the latter camp I'm afraid.


Kind Regards,

I thought that would be the case for me also, Jackie.  That's one of the
reasons I haven't bothered to go further.
