[macvoiceover] Re: latest itunes breaks accessibility and ringtones:

It is easier to understand how 3rd party developers can mess up accessibility 
in their apps than it is to understand why Apple is doing this in ITunes. Its 
one of their flagship applications, the accessibility guidelines are theirs, 
and VoiceOver is on every Apple developer's Mac for testing. I know that there 
must be VO users that work at Apple, and, while they might not be able to test 
everything before it is released, you'd think that just about all of them would 
use ITunes for something or other, and would notice these problems while the 
new version is still an internal beta.

Very confusing.

Subject: [macvoiceover] latest itunes breaks accessibility and ringtones:

all;

It appears that with the release of itunes 9.1.2 or whatever it is, we need to 
relie more than ever on the vo cursor.  it used to be possible to interact with 
the songs list and then use arrows to move up and down from song to song, but 
now, we must use vo keys with arrows.  The regular arrows move from song to 
song, but the change in location is not announced by vo.

Ringtones are no longer possible to make with itunes.  For some reason, even 
when you set an end time, it is not honored.
