I agree with you.
I wouldn't normally just do the one liner thing but, I think what you are
saying about the market and such is something companies really need to
consider.

Thanks Barbara - I'm a bit reluctant to pay 35 quid[not that I take anything
away from the deserving cause of the script writers] for software to browse
a site that really should be accessible in the first place, if they want my
custom, they should know that music is very important to lots of blind
customers, and they are potentially missing a sizable chunk of the market by
restricting our ability to buy from them. However, from what Steve is
saying, the site is more blind friendly these days, so maybe I'll take a
look <smile> -
