That I can't say. I do know there are third party itunes replacements but
they are not accessible.

Is this possible? Does Apple release the interface specifications for
their devices? If so, are these free or do you have to pay Apple a fee
to acquire and use such specifications?

Hi!
I'm going o answer to the original post here since I've lost the topic
thread.
I agree Freedom Scientific, GW Micro and NV Access are responsible for
how will their respective products will interact with different kindsof
software on Windows compatible PCs.
However, I don't agree they are completely responsible. Software
developers have the means and ability to make their apps more simple,
more accessible and more hookable to some standards so the screen
readers can use the most of the app interface with no further adjusting,
making scripts, set files or external modules.
iTunes, as an app in question, is way complicated and graphically
furnished than it should be for its purpose. Long story short, iTunes is
just a player with ability to synchronize with iDevices, nothing more
nothing less and it could be much, much simpler than it is.
Regarding its design, basically it has left side with some kind of tree
view with various categories and the right side with options, settings
and controls for selected category. Tis can easily look like Winamp
Preferences dialog or Jaws Settings Center, both accessible and usable
to the core.
OK, now someone will tell Winamp needs some Jaws scripting which is true
and it is obvious Jaws Settings Center has to be accessible but similar
dialogs found in other apps are not screen reader supported and still
are accessible. Right now I can think of Settings dialog of Utorrent,
Free Download Manager and there are tones of apps with this kind of
interface.
If the app is designed in some standards screen reader will have a
better chance to interact with it and Apple is the first who should know
it.

I tend to agree with you myself, but others have pointed out on this
list that the accessibility of App Store apps is the responsibility of
the app developers. Apple publishes the accessibility specifications,
so it's up to the app developer to follow those specifications. The
same reasoning would apply to a developer writing an application for
Windows, where there's also plenty of information on how to make your
application accessible.
This is also one of the reasons why I still like the third party
screen reader developer option. It means there's one more interested
party out there worrying about whether I can access an application or
not. How much of a priority can it be for a company to make their
application accessible on a competitors platform or have their screen
reader jump through hoops to make a competitors application accessible?

Well, while it may not all be up to Freedom Scientific or VFO or
whatever they are called now, it is both the responsibility of Apple and
the screenreader makers. I sure hope that VFO is having talks with Apple
about iTunes accessibility since only they can tell Apple what Apple
needs to do so that they can do what they must do.
Apple used to point out that iTtunes worked best with Window Eyes, but I
think for a while before Windo Eyes became part of VFO Jaws was actually
working at least as good or better and now that both screenreaders are
under the same hat so to speak I really hope Apple and VFO get their
wires crossed in a way that is going to result in an improvement to
accessibility and not a reduction.

Hi. Has anyone gotten the latest itunes to function with jaws? I talked
to apple accessibility and their take is that since we’re using jaws,
it’s their problem.
