and when you are in preferences, even though it says buttons like general, they 
are actually tabs.

Hi Jenny, also you can customise the source list to show what you want and that 
you don't want to be shown. 
For example I have disabled things like DJ playlist, books and apps for the 
simple reason I don't use any of them. To do this, open iTunes and hit command 
coma. Or to do it the long way round VO M to go to the menu bar arrow right to 
hear iTunes, arrow down to preferences and hit enter. You should then be in a 
dialog where if your on the general tab, arrowing right with VO should enable 
you to hear these choices and a few more and they are check boxes so you can 
check and uncheck till your heart's contempt! Also in the sources you can 
navigate by 1st letter navigation as long as you know what your looking for. 
Hope this helps.  ,
