OK, well I'm way behind on mail. But as of now, I still cannot find any quick ways of accomplishing the tasks I used to be able to accomplish quickly with iTunes 10 and earlier. I found your comment regarding VoiceOver and interacting quite interesting. Most of the time, I personally try to use the operating system's shortcuts rather than those provided by VoiceOver. For instance, I always use Control+F3 to bring the dock into focus. however, yes, I concede that there are times when interacting is useful. I just sometimes find it slow. That said, when working with my iTunes library in iTunes 10, I did certainly see advantages with interacting and other VoiceOver functions. In iTunes 11, however, I really cannot find anything good to say about it at this point. I can, of course, use the radio buttons and other controls. But let me give you an example, perhaps you can provide the solution I am missing and that may enable me to become more familiar with this new layou t. If you highlight an album, how do you then move quickly to the album's contents? I tried VoiceOver+J and VoiceOver+Command+J amongst other things, but so far I've had no luck. The same is true of playlists. When typing into the search bar, all I hear is a most disgusting racket which I find most disconcerting. Can that dreadful din be silenced? Just a couple of questions to start off with.

One of the things I've noticed about VoiceOver as I've used it this past year is that it tends to make it possible for two people to have utterly different user experiences, based purely on the techniques they employ. I favor interacting whenever possible, and embracing the "groups of objects," metaphor which Apple seems to encourage. Is this necessarily the most efficient way to go about things? Probably not. However, it suffices for me, and I find the new interface more than workable. I wouldn't consider using any alternative media player myself. As for locating tracks in the library, I tend to use the search box, but the radio buttons are certainly another option. Think of them as very much like the row of buttons at the bottom of your iPhone music player. They might actually resemble an iPad interface more than the iPhone, for all I know. <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> or at the public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/>.
