App[Apparently, there are some scripts available for Jaws for Itunes
on Brian Hartgen's web page. Best type in Brian Hartgen scripts Jaws
words in the search field in Google to find his page. Brian has been
producing lots of scripts for Jaws over many years. I'm sorry I
haven't got his webpage url.

Hello,
I have a friend who uses Windows XP with JAWS. She wants to
subscribe
to podcasts and (optionally) use her first generation shuffle as a
portable means of access... Though according to her, iTunes for
Windows is not at all supported by JAWS (e.g., there are little or no
scripts out there).
I know very little about using iTunes and iPods with JAWS under
Windows XP, but your friend might check out the J-Tunes scripts for
using iTunes with JAWS and subscribe to the Blind iPod Mailing
List. You can find links to this information from:
http://www.hartgen.org/
and read about details of J-Tunes from the links for iPod products
at that site.
Is it true that there is no JAWS support of iTunes for Windows? If
there is, can anyone point me to a good resource? If there isn't,
are
there any viable alternatives to iTunes that are accessible, would
allow her to download podcasts, and either independently or in
conjunction with iTunes would sync said casts into her shuffle? She
also has a Victor; are there any facilities for downloading podcasts
via that route?
Best,
Abdul
Perhaps new members on this list can suggest good podcatching client
alternatives to iTunes? It is certainly not necessary to use iTunes
for
podcast subscriptions, but should your friend do so the
standardization
of iTunes versions between Windows and the Mac should make migrating
at a later time fairly simple.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Esther
