Unless I am tabbing into the list, I only hear the title and artist as well. Normally, I can press Insert + F2 and select "Customize List View". This utility should let you select which columns you want spoken, their order, and if you want the heading spoken. You can even provide custom text spoken for each heading. Unfortunately, JAWS seems to ignore this while moving up or down in this list!I can hear all of this information and the status of the checkbox for the selected item, if I press Insert + Tab! A little awkward, but very informative.
