Hi All,
What a joke having protection for disable persons!
The more we catch up to the technology they keep making it more
inaccessible!
Why does one have to buy scripts to have a program to work because they are
blind!
If sighted people had to do the same it would be corrected in no time.
So all this is just a big game isn't it?
Having beta blind testers for vista and I've heard it's crap with a screen
reader.

I'm off my soap box!
Thanks!

Hi

I have today been working with the latest release of iTunes and, in terms of
correcting the compatibility difficulty between jaws 7.10 and 8, it is all
we hoped it would be.  A few changes to the scripts are required, but
nothing too difficult.  So when our Webmaster returns from holiday in two
weeks, at the time of the Sight Village large exhibition in the UK, we will
post to the web a new update for anyone wishing to use jaws version 8 with
iTunes.  We also need to do some compatibility tests with Windows Vista.

As to what has changed, nothing that startling.  It is compatible with the
new iPhone which is currently in the news.  One disappointing factor relates
to the iTunes store.  There is still no hot key in order to purchase a
track, although I have to say the key we do have in the scripts worked right
away on my computers without adaptation.  The other problem however still
remains in that the music store view we ask you to customise, I.E.
unchecking certain check boxes, is not retained when you close iTunes and
re-open it.  That has been around since version 7 was released.

Apart from that all the regular features of the scripts work fine, and if
this continues as I think it will, we will dispense with maintaining two
sets of scripts for iTunes 6 and 7 as there would be no value in doing that.
