It isn't better on the Mac, I was just talking about the Windows
version, although Real Networks has been one of the only software
vendors that really has done a lot for accessibility. I see that they
are starting to develop software with some of the features we would
want like real access to their music store. You can already access
their protected content like nfl field pass, but as of yet they
haven't added their music store to their list of features on the Mac.

Really. I have been wanting for ages to install Real Player. Is it
any better than ITunes? I'd be more than happy to make the switch
if so. Only problem then would be, what would I then use as a
podcast receiver. I like Itunes for that, but when you have
literally speaking over 300 podcasts, ITunes can get really? busy,
and really sluggish.

Why must we wait, wait and wait. Real Networks had an accessible
software along with music store for years.

Subject: iTunes Accessibility - have I been mistaken?
G'day,
I read an article by Peter Abrams about the accessibility of
the iPhone. It's about the *lack of* accessibility of the
iPhone, mostly. Anyway, in the comments of course there's
the requisite - I thought - idiot saying that iTunes isn't
accessible.
I assumed this was a Windows user who had no clue and I was
rather, erm, strident in informing him of his mistaken
beliefs. Anyway, he's replied again listing specifics of what
he can't do (mainly, interact with the main iTunes Story
window in any way) and saying that "his blind friend" is not
just a Leopard user but a beta tester for VO. I'm not a VO
user myself as many of you know, so I'm concerned that I may
have ended up with both feet in my mouth here!
The article is here:
<http://www.it-analysis.com/business/change/content.php?cid=10678
>
If you search for "Big Man" you'll jump to his first comment.
If you want to leave a reply on that web page, please please
please be very polite and no flaming! Just facts about
whether he's right or not... I don't want to create problems
or "apple fanboy rage" or make VO users look bad in any way.
If you want to reply on the list, I'll leave another comment
there with links to the list replies via the archives.
Cheers,
Ricky
