Thank you mark. I think we've decided that amazon prime is probably not for us and amazon music doesn't offer enough classical and old music for us.

Hello Again Ari, Well, I just spent over an hour with my Amazon online music library, IE11, and Jaws for Windows, version 16. I must tell you that my experience with using Jaws instead of Zoomtext was vastly different and not, in my opinion, in a good way. Now keep in mind that I am not an advanced Jaws user, anymore, especially when it comes to using web browsers so take what I write with a grain of salt, as it were. I was surprised at how unstructured the Amazon Music Library is with regard to Jaws. For example, there are no headings to speak of and, worst still, the tracks appear not to be listed in a table, proper. While I did find it easy to download various tracks, I have no doubt that this is because I had previously seen the structure of the interface, visually. I don't think I could have made heads or tails out of anything had I not experienced the interface, over the past couple of months, with my eyes, on a desktop PC using a screen magnifier. Just so you know, I used a laptop running Windows 7 with IE 11 and absolutely no screen magnification. In short, I did not and could not use my eyes. Although I do have the latest version of Jaws on one of my Desktops, I wanted to make certain that I would not cheat during the experience by leaning in and peeping at the monitor (smile). How's that for honesty? (big smile) To be honest, were I to lose the ability to use Zoomtext in order to access the Amazon music library, I would probably never buy another song from them, preferring instead to use iTunes. Again, I am not an advanced Jaws user. In fact, I had to type the direct URL into the browser in order to locate my online music library as I could not get Jaws to land on the Music Library link on the main page of Amazon. The direct URL to your Amazon music library is: http://amazon.com/musiclibrary Okay, there you have it from my perspective.

Mark, i've had a horrible time trying to use the Amazon music downloader program for Windows with NVDA. I haven't found the browser experience to be any better. Have you tried using a screen reader instead of Zoom text to access your music and downloaded from the web, without using the downloader program? Thanks, Ari > On Mar 9, 2016, at 1:00 AM, M.
