Re: Arrowing through the artists table in iTunes issue
David just to say you can in fact re-download all your purchased music. In iTunes you can find them in the music library so long as you have iTunes in the cloud, free, enabled. You can also re-download music onto the phone simply by going into the music app. If nothing is showing go to settings iTunes and App Stores and turn on music next to the show all heading. So it can be done for sure. E-mail Facebook and iMessage christopher...@gmail.com On 28/10/2013 22:28, David Griffith wrote: That is correct. Generally though I still avoid using iTunes whenever possible. The only real use I have for iTunes is that I use it to rip non Amazon CDs and that means they automatically make their way onto my phone. I also use it to buy apps for the phone. Apart from that I am increasingly using Amazon Cloud Player to organise and play music on my iPhone. With the Amazon autorip feature all the past and present CDs I have ever bought from Amazon are instantly available for playing on my iPhone without synching. Any Mp3 music I purchase from Amazon is also immediately available for download on the iPhone with again none of the synching nonsense itunes insists on. I can also download the music I purchase onto my Mac and any authorised PC I am using. Again in marked contrast to iTunes and the restricted Apple way of doing things. I purchased music from iTunes and downloaded it onto a laptop that has since died, yet I can find no way of re-downloading it as iTunes simply reports I have downloaded it already. Presumably Apple are trying to make me fork out for iTunes Match. The Amazon Cloud Player can also play all of the iTunes transferred Music on your phone. All this means that I rarely use iTunes for getting or playing music and instead use Amazon as it is so much simpler. The main downside is that you cannot access music using Siri on the Amazon Cloud Player. I know I should, according to my friends, be boycotting Amazon for Tax avoidance in the UK but that is a matter for discussion elsewhere. Impractical terms blind users often do not have the same luxury of choice as sighted consumers and certainly I am not aware of any accessible service which offer the options and ease of use that Amazon now does. So my advice is avoid iTunes. Use VLC for playing Music and Amazon Cloud Player for getting music on your phone and computers.

Arrowing through the artists table in iTunes issue
Hi all - When arrowing down through the list of artists in my iTunes library, VO stops announcing the artist name, and just says row 10 one item, row 11 one item and so on. The only way to correct this seems to be to arrow back up to the above row, and then VO speaks the artists name, but as soon as I arrow down again, it only says the row number and one item. Is this a list view issue? Can it be corrected? - Andy --- 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 postedto 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/.
