Thank you all for your great suggestions. I'll give them a try when I can get the time to hang out on my computer! Take care! Kathy

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. | | Robert Nelson | | ----- Original Message ----- | From: "Kathy Szinnyey" <joyfulreneg...@insightbb.com> | To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> | Sent: Wednesday, March 31, 2010 9:07 PM | Subject: Re: Itunes, just starting out | | | Okay, so I'm using Jaws 8 point something at the moment, so iI have no idea | if that will work with the latest version of ITunes.

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!
