Suggest you go to Brian Hartgen's web page- www.tandt-consultancy.com
and look at his scripts for JAWS, called J-tunes. To hear podcasts about JAWS and I-tunes, go to Freedom Scientific's web site- www.hj.com and look for their podcast which is called F S cast. The January 2010 or February 2010 podcast is about Jaws and I-tunes. There are other podcasts about it that you can find by doing a search in google using the terms- hartgen i-tunes If you have the patience to read a detailed description of i-tunes, largely written by Anna Dressner of National Braille Press, download the j-tunes user manual from www.tandt-consultancy.com Whilst it is about using the Jaws scripts, it does have very detailed descriptions of how i-tunes works and what you can do with it. The problem you will have is that you are using Jaws Version 8. I-tunes will talk for you without the J-tunes scripts but there are parts that you will find frustrating unless you know what I-tunes is actually doing. That is why I suggest that you read the J-tunes user manual. Hope this helps.

Should I decide to experiment with it, are there any tricks I s hould know to make using ITunes any easier? As I said, all I want to do is buy material I can't buy anywhere else, convert it to mp3, and play it on portable devices that play standard MP3. Yes, I know there are higher quality files out there, but my ears don't mind. I really appreciate the help! Peace, Kathy "There is more to life than increasing it's speed."

If you purchase music from the Itunes store it will be in | an Apple proprietary format, usually AAC, and you will need to convert it to | MP3 to play on other devices. You can do the conversion in Itunes itself by | browsing to the track or number of tracks and choosing convert. | | There's a bit of a learning curve to Itunes and you need to have | compatibility right between your screen reader and the version of Itunes but | it's perfectly useable once you get into it. | | Regards. | | Kevin | E-mail: kevin.llo...@sky.com | ----- Original Message ----- | From: "Kathy Szinnyey" <joyfulreneg...@insightbb.com> | To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> | Sent: Wednesday, March 31, 2010 11:39 AM | Subject: Re: Itunes, just starting out | | | > Hi back atcha!
