You select the iTunes store from the menu. Then you type the search and hit enter. after the sound indicating the page just load, press F6 to jump directly to the store. You can also check jonathan mosen's podcast on itunes on the freedom scientific's website.

Hello,
So I just installed ITunes and made an account, but I can't seem to find the store anywhere. I have the ITunes store selected in the combo box, and typed in my search terms, but tabbing around I don't see any place to look at song names or artist names.
Do I need to search then select a style? Or how do I read the store!
Thank you,

Point well taken. I downloaded winamp and used it for a while. It works very well with jaws and it is a very full media player. But frankly, didn't like it a bit. Its just another good program that I won't use. lol. But like I said, I like my music mobile. I don't listen to music on my computer that often. I mostly use my iPod to listen to all of my media. Also, on iTunes you can ask it to put all of your music and movies on one folder on whatever place you want. So you can have everything under your finger sort of speak. But like I said, each to its own. I am just pointing out that iTunes is very accessible with jaws and just because the interface is not what you will expect from a windows program it doesn't mean it won't work. One thing you need to rememeber is that iTunes is made by apple, and if you had the chance to play around with a MAC recently you will know that Apple is totally different from windows in all aspects.

It's not that the software is complicated...it's just stupid, in my view. Anyway, that was certainly a well considered reply and I hope users of ITunes such as yourself are making useful and worthy suggestions to Apple as to how they can improve their products, in terms of accessibility and otherwise. It's mostly the "otherwise" stuff that I have issue with, which makes me abhore Apple and their ideas, so I guess this is best left off the list anyway. I've found Winamp to be the most robust, adaptable, useful and quick media software. I don't want my media player to download anything or be responsible for anything other than playing media. I like my programmes to be self-contained...seems a lot less problematic that way and perhaps even Freedom Scientific could learn from this example, as others on the list were theorising recently. I also appreciate programmes that adhere to the standard windows folder system for storage and categorisation and don't try to dictate how I should organise my collection. I definitely don't appreciate how my dad can't even send me a gift of a song without me downloading Apple's programme, when compression algorithms should be open to all and there's no reason at all for Apple to use some proprietary format/protection scheme...but that's just their way, hence I will never buy or support this company in any form.

People, it seems that we all have very different experiences on iTunes with jaws. Frankly, I use an iPod and I am in the process of getting a iPhone 4G. So, on that regard I have no other "legal" choice. Sure, I can jailbreak my IOS device which is not technically illegal to use it with other program,
but I found that doing so damages the device.

I have used windows media player, real media player and winamp and I find
them very complicated, very loaded, or they don't have enough features
respectively. iTunes is in my homble opinion one of the best media players around. Sure, somethings can and they most be improved, but comparing with
just a couple of years ago the program is very accessible.

I also like to have things mobile and since the iPod touch has build in
accessibility, what better choice for a mobile media player.

People say that boththe interface of iTunes and its companions, iPod, iPhone
and iPad are very complicated, but I have found that first, people don't
read the manual or they don't put the enough effort to learn a new way of
doing things. Since they don't do what I just said, they say that is
compolicated, hard to use or inaccessible.


Now, there are some people that do the effort to learn something new. They
try the product and they still don't like it. Well then, good for you.
Programs and interfaces are not made one size fits all, but one size fits
most. If you don't like it, there are better options out there.


My messege from all this ranting is first, try it. Second, read the manual and third, expect changes for good or for worse. But keep trying, you may learn something. Besides, most programs have a "send suggestions" page or
e-mail. Send them a suggestion. Maybe for a future release they may
implement it.


Sorry for all this ranting.

Even lots of sighted people think the interface is crap, and I blame that programme for permanently screwing up my father's ideas about how his PC's
file system works. Good luck finding alternatives if you're using an
IDevice to play music...I'm sure some google searches will yield positive
results.

Dear Friends,
Well, I have to add my 2 cents.
I could not use "Itunes" with JAWS 11, latest build and my XP machine.
And even after having 2 sighted fairly computer technically inclined
people
try to help me on two separate occasions, I still could not use it, to put
some music on this Itunes "Shuffle", and either could they!

So My Hats off to those using the thing!
Yes, I salute you!

With Best Regards,

Happy Winamp user here. Every time I look at Itunes I throw my hands up in utter bewilderment. Everything about the programme goes against what
I
believe a good experience with a PC should be like. haha
If winamp ever leaves me unsatisfied, there are a few other players that
I'd try. Does anyone have experience using Fubar with JAWS?  What's it
like?

Quoting John Martyn <johnrobertmartyn@xxxxxxxxx>:

iTunes is slow to start and lags even without jaws. But I suppose a
music addict with 20,000 songs can't complain. iTunes is what I use for
my library. I just get the new music from Rhapsody.

20,000 songs!!!!!!!!!! Man! Now that's a lot!!! I only have 9,000.
Maybe that is it. I suggest if you can upgrade your RAM to 3 or 4 GB. It will improve iTunes with jaws. And it will improve your computting
experience overall.

iTunes is not a pain. I use it dailly. In fact, I am using it right
now.
Here, this is a link for a 2 part tutorial on iTunes. The second part
comes
out this month so keep an eye open.

http://www.freedomscientific.com/FSCast/default.asp

A list of different podcast will appear. Select the december 2010
episode. I
believe it is episode 49. Listen to it. You will learn a lot. Don't
dispair!
Once you learn to use iTunes you will like it. Also, if you plan to
use
or
buy an iPod, iPhone or iPad (or any combination of those devices) you
will
need iTunes.

_SUMMARY_
X-Antivirus: AVG for E-mail 8.5.449 [271.1.1/3361]

you are not the only one. But, I suggest you take out any and all
non
essential icons. e.g. if you don't use tv shows, take it out. I also
suggest you maintain all itunes media on the itunes folder. Not on
your
usual music folder. iTunes needs to check every tag and it slows
thing
down.
For example, I have all of my music on one folder on my external
hardrive,
and I also have there my movies. so it doesn't matter what happens,
itunes
only has 1 place to look and download material. other than that I
suggest
you double the minimum requirements. for example, if itunes needs 1
GB
of
ram to play music, bring it up to 2 or 3. that way itunes will have
almost
unlimited ram to do whatever it wants.
