Iain, you have answered a question about Spotify and using it with Spotify
blind.  I got these scripts, but was disappointed as I couldn't find how to
play albums, and also do lots of other things with it.  

Thanks, next time I'll try using the OCR,

Sharon

There are Spotify scripts for JAWS from www.spotifyblind.com/. However, they
are not free and my experience is they are not altogether a success. You see
how much you are missing when you use Spotify on an iDevice. With these
scripts, you can do searches, create playlists and, if you are willing to
use the JAWS cursor and the OCR component of JAWS, you can listen to albums.

In short, with JAWS it can be done, but it isn't nearly as straightforward
as it should be. Spotify has been very poor in making the PC version of its
offering accessible.

Does anyone use Spotify successfully with screen reader? I was just
wondering, not being a Spotify user, I have been thinking lately that it may
be more economical for me to subscribe to Spotify on a monthly basis and get
all the music that I want rather than purchasing downloads from iTunes. It
would probably work out cheaper for me this way!
Kind regards
Richard
