The issue is that no screen reader I've tried (the latest version of NVDA, JAWS 17, and even Narrator) on my Windows 10 machine will read anything in these lists. I haven't yet tried (I think it was Marc's suggestion) of using the refresh screen feature of JAWS to try to get things reading with it. NVDA's text and object review commands don't make it possible to read anything, either. The reason I haven't yet tried JAWS 18 is that I only recently received my SMA update to version 18, and I haven't yet had a chance to install it. I'll report back with more news when I've installed JAWS 18 and tried the screen refresh command. By the way, I did all the tests of the screen readers mentioned above when the rep was on the phone with me. He said that the issue was with Microsoft. I specifically asked him if anything had changed in the latest versions of iTunes 12 in terms of the way they programed those lists (after all, the lists of the column browser work fine in the main music library) and he said that as far as he knew, nothing had changed except the way things were arranged in the program, not the underlying structure of the way things were made in the program,. I told him it'd be interesting to see if blind users of the latest iTunes and Windows 7 were haveing the same issues. A friend of mine is running Windows 8 or 8.1. I'll have to check if she's having the same issues I'm having. She's also running NVDA. I want to see if this is really a Microsoft issues with not presenting things well in Windows 10 to any screen readers' or if the issue is with iTunes. Lol the Apple Accessibility rep had the idea that all Windows screen readers were rather limited, and could only perform the "basics," as he put it. I couldn't let that slide, and set him straight on that. I must say, he was rather surprised. I wonder if that was just his Mac bias or Apple propaganda talking. Either way, he needed to know that not only were Windows screen readers very capable, but that I was a capable user of two of them, so that he knew I wasn't just spouting Windows screen readers are better than VoiceOver on Mac. Anyway, just thought I'd tell you all about the issues I'm having, and that I spoke to Apple about them, and that I'm going to do some testing. It'd be really useful if people running Windows 7 and the latest version of iTunes 12 could see if they're having the same issues I am' so I i can keep a useful dialogue going with Apple, and possibly start one with Microsoft. Sorry if any of this has been a bit nonsensicle; it's rather early here, and I'm not propperly awake yet. I just wanted to get this in before I forgot any of it.

I thought there might be some workarounds for some of the problems. It appears that accessibility with iTunes in windows has gotten worse over the years. I was just trying to see what was possible when using iTunes with windows 10 after all there is the need to sync data from the iPhone and iPad to one's computer from time to time I can remember when some of us upgraded to iOS 10. A lot of us simply connected our cables to our computers to download I was just trying to find out whether I could sync my contacts and other material such as photos and notes from my phone when using iTunes in windows. I guess not. Thanks for all your help.

I have a feeling that Apple would have to make some pretty major changes so that companies like Freedom Scientific can get at the information and in turn do whatever is needed to make it as good as it can be. The same applies to the iCloud.com<http://iCloud.com> website, I highly doubt Apple is implementing web accessibility guidelines/standards here since the site is more or less unuseable for somebody who needs to rely on a screenreader.
