At 05:10 PM 6/19/2010 -Thanks to all. Gary, I'm going to check out what Brian has to say. For David, I'm using the latest versions of both JAWS and Itunes and have no problem with Preferences; I don't have to use the JAWS cursor.0500, Gary King wrote:

Christopher,
You might want to go to

http://www.accessibleworld.org/category/site-categories/tek-talk-archives

and listen to Brian Hartgen, the author of the J-Tunes scripts, talk about iTunes and JAWS 11. You will need to go down to the Tek Talk Archives heading on the page and select the link that takes you to the second page of the archives. It's the February 8 2010 presentation. As I recall, he gives some nice navigation tips that don't involve his J-Tunes scripts.

When Brian first wrote his scripts in 2005, there was no other way to access iTunes and the iTunes Store except with his scripts. Since I didn't want to use iTunes to organize my music, I wasn't interested in J-Tunes, and I thought the price was too high. Now that iTunes and the iTunes Store are more accessible with JAWS and other Screen readers, and I use iTunes to feed my iPod Touch, I can use iTunes to do what I need to do, and I still think the price of the scripts is too high.

The J-Tunes scripts add a lot of convenience to the use of iTunes and have a lot of built-in Help. It's up to you whether you want to pay the price for this convenience and Help.

Now that Apple and FS have made ITunes really fairly accessible, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if the JTunes scripts are still beneficial and worth the purchase and a little bit about why or why not. Thanks!
