Hi.
The below message was sent to PC-audio a few months ago and has some
tips about accessible software.

Subject: RE: MP3 Ipod
Hello,
I won an Ipod at work and have been able to get it somewhat functional. The
first step was to ditch the Itunes software, which I found totally unusable.
There is a peace of software called Anapod Explorer put out by RedChair
software which works like a dream. The URL is www.redchairsoftware.com and
It organizes the Ipod in to folders and puts an icon on your desktop which
you basically access like just another folder in My Computer. You can
either copy/paste or send-to files to this window just like you can a folder
on your hard drive, and Anapod even lets you manipulate playlists in an
intuitive manner. It doesn't insist on synchronizing the Ipod with a
library on your computer as Itunes apparently does. The documentation is
called the Omnitome and is on their website.
In terms of using the device itself, I found that the remote control is
far the easiest interface. There are definite buttons for play/pause,
previous and next. You press down on the prev. and next buttons to fast
forward or rewind through a selection. I have had limited success in using
the unit itself by counting the audible clicks emitted by the Ipod when you
access the touch wheel. The second selection on the menu is "playlists" and
then you touch the middle button for enter. If you numerically sequence
your playlists in Anapod, you can then count clicks to the playlist you
want, enter, then either touch the top of the wheel to play or use the play
button on the remote. Not the easiest interface in the world to use, but
with a little elbow grease, it can be made to cooperate a little. I highly
recommend that anyone interested in using an Ipod check out Anapod explorer.
I also found it essential to sit with a sighted person enough to get some
guidance in figuring out the interface. Hope these remarks are helpful.

Subject: jfw and iTunes
Hey everyone,
A belated Merry Christmas to all! I actually got a gift that is the cause
for this entry, so hopefully someone can help.
I got a special edition U2 iPod for Christmas and installed the iTunes
software onto my computer, today. I am running it on a Win2000 PC with JFW
5.0 and I am noticing that the program isn't very jaws friendly at all.
Would anyone be able to give me tips as to how to navigate through it, some
scripts that might be available (and instructions on how to load them),
and/or an alternative program that may suit my needs?
Thanks in advance for any help!
-Marc
