Hi again Peter,

I went on to HMV digital, and it is a accessible site up until I wanted to 
select / buy a track. There are no links on actual tracks, only on artist names 
and albums, and the "sample" and "buy" buttons are right at the end of the list 
and not adjacent to any individual track. I'm obviously doing something wrong. 
Any suggestions? Thanks. Alun

  Yes the site is www.hmvdigital.co.uk. The site itself is actualy quite good, 
but I seem to remember when you start to download a track or album it has a 
little download manager, which was a little tricky but not to bad. Just don't 
download their software as it doesn't work with JAWS at all.

  What I'd recommend to people is that if you find something in accessible, ask 
the companies if you can have a free membership to  it and offer to give them 
feedback on the problems you face as a JAWS user. I have done this with 
Digiguide (TV schedular software) which is completely inaccessible. Their web 
site is great though at www.mydigiguide.co.uk and is great for finding out what 
is on all channels available in the UK.

  Peter

    Thanks for this Peter. Do you have a exact address for the HMV site? I 
assume you'r saying that I can buy and download music off the site for using on 
a mp3 without using the HMV softwear? Is that right? I'd also like scripts for 
the HMV (or any other music downloading site) if anyone else has any or any 
other suggestions. 

    What I'm a bit suprised by, given how much people with a visual impairment 
are in to music, is that none of the bifg compays have made any effort to make 
their downloading sites completely accessible. Surely there is a 
straight-forward market reason that there are a heck of a lot of us and a fully 
accessible site would bring in a lot of dosh. Also in the US doesn't the 
Americans With Disabilities act mean that web sites must be accessible? Thanks. 
Alun

      I've just had a look at Rhapsody. i didn't think much of it. I use the 
HMV Digital site to download music. Don't use the software though to do it, 
just the site itself. If anybody has any scripts for the HMV Digital software 
I'd love to have them.

      Thanks

      Peter

        Hello Rich,

        I'm the person trying to use Rhapsody. Thanks for the email below. I've 
tried the address given, both by copying it in to the address bar in explorer, 
and writing it in, but neither work. Have you tried it recently? Has anyone 
else tried it? If it isn't there anymore, can anyone else suggest how I get the 
scripts? I live in the UK. Cheers. Alun.

          Hello to all on list. I just wanted to drop everyone a line to let 
people know there are now scripts that will make the rhapsody music service 
easier to use with Jaws. Go to

          http://www.panix.com/~ccn/projects/jfw/rhapsody.php

          for more information and to contact the author.
