I think what is the biggest wish from me is to have every thing that is able to be navigated to with tab clearly labeled and easy to navigate with all the garbage taken out. If it is invading all the computers in the world I'd like to be able to easily use it for ripping and burning CDs as well, while still being able to play music and videos.

Now the iTunes store only says "iTunes store". My sighted sistersays that when I route the jaws cursor to the virtual pc cursor, I am in the top portion of the iTunes store. But when I navigate somewhere, the mouse moves out of the windows and lands on the "new playlist" button on the buttom of the page.

If it really has trouble recognizing areas of navigation, then I am in for it. I would have to program even the most basic of keys. Down arrow would become a nightmare. Not that it's not possible, I will just have to take a crash course in this section. ----- Original Message ----- From: Yadiel Sotomayor To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, March 27, 2011 8:00 AM Subject: Re: Coding iTunes NBrandon: The way you navigated the iTunes store previously (I still don't know if it was jaws 12 or iTunes who broke it) was just like a webpage. You have headings saying for example "artist name" then you got a level 2 heading saying "albums of artist" and from there on all the itmes where the albums. You could enter them and check and listen to the individual tracks and hit the "buy button'". But since the iTunes store was broken I have been looking for other options. This is why I mentioned the jTunes scripts. They only make a few things in iTunes accessible and for 75 dollars they are not worth it. If I could navigate the iTunes store, maybe. But they are just not worth 75 dollars.

Now I get lost on ITunes when I use tab and f6 is confusing as well. Also removing any extra cymbals buttons or words would be nice... Also it would be really awesome to move down the ITunes store with the up and down arrow keys, so I go to songs and hit the down arrow and it sais the name of the song and the artist and the album, then I right arrow and it sais play and I right arrow again and it sais buy. Or even just hitting inter on the name of the song hitting the play and one press of the right arrow is buy, although a message will need to be put up at the first song saying that's how to play the demo... Also proper control of sliders and clear ability to read the information coming from the radio would be really nice.

Didn't know about the iTunes store part. Wow, that is a steep price for jTunes. iTunes won't be too difficult actually. ----- Original Message ----- From: Yadiel Sotomayor To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, March 26, 2011 7:26 PM Subject: Re: Coding iTunes Well, look at the jTunes and build from there. Just kidding. Even though the jTunes cost 75 dollars, they don't bring to much to the party. Well, suggestions on what I want on iTunes. Well, access to the help file. Second, since jaws 12 or iTunes 10.2.1 (don't know which one) broke the iTunes store, the iTunes store would be very nice. A way to imput data or create an account without turning the virtual cursor off. A way to get all the easily accessible information for sighted people (track name, time, number of tracks, etc.) in an easy matter. Jaws iimput when selecting tracks via the control plus spacebar method. Those are just of a few suggestions. I am going to left this open for people's imput. From: John Martyn Sent: Friday, March 25, 2011 8:10 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Coding iTunes ITunes is a good one. I know that some of it can't be accessed easily without the jaws cursor. Definately an easier app to work with since they are Microsoft accessibility access friendly. Plus I noticed that they leave the JSS file open to scripters. Just in case we wanted to add to it. Give your thoughts on what we want iTunes to do. I definately use iTunes myself and it is a popular app. As far as the need, we still have to hear more input from everyone. Good suggestion. ----- Original Message ----- From: Yadiel Sotomayor To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, March 26, 2011 7:25 AM Subject: Re: Coding for a new jaws accessible app Hmmm... I would like to see scripts (free scripts if possible) for iTunes. I downloaded the jTunes scripts (version 5.5) and I did not like them at all. They did not added much to the party and there are some parts of iTunes that since version 10.2.1 have become completely inaccessible. E.G. the iTunes store. Other program I would love to see a script being developed is for DVD fab platnum. I am thinking of a couple, but I doubt there will be any interest among blind persons, so I won't mention them. At least for now.

Picking Rhapsody was not an easy task, but it taught me many things about an application that seems next to impossible to make behave. I am taking off this summer from school and will have the time to code a new application. Rhapsody Blind was a test to see if I could pull it off, and it worked. I selfishly chose the first one, now I'm looking for the popular vote on what you might want. I probably won't start until this semester is over at the end of May, so this gives plenty of time to decide. It would be a good idea to chat among each other and find out what is needed or just plain want for entertainment purposes. So, let's open up the floor and hear some suggestions.
