Just to put this in perspective a little, actually the programming behind
iTunes isn't that wonderful. Apple are not applying consistency to MSAA events
which causes them not to fire correctly. So while using Window-Eyes (and to
some extent System Access) may be an improvement over JAWS right now in that
specific area of the primary item list, the fact remains that there are other
problems with those screen-readers. An example would be when the screen
scrolls. If you use Wineyes and iTunes 8.2, and you use first letter
navigation to quickly jump several hundred tracks down, then start scrolling
back up, wineyes and other screen-readers will not read the data.
So all screen-readers have problems to some degree.

Hi Terry,
I disagree here. Only don't upgrade if you are using JAWS. Any other
screen reader is actually improved with the latest iTunes. Window-Eyes and
System Access work better with it than 8.1. I have not tried it with Hal
yet, but will do so.
All the best
Steve

And indeed we have said very clearly on several lists today that this update
is not good news, it has broken from an accessibility perspective with or
without J-Tunes many things, so the advice is don't upgrade is you use
access technology.
From the perspective of J-Tunes we will work to producing an upgrade in due
course.
Best!
Terry Clasper.
