Oh, my God! I just updated to the latest version of iTunes, and the checkboxes for picking which playlists get synced to your phone now work just as well as they did in iTunes 11! I'm absolutely thrilled with this development! Just for reference, I'm using iTunes with the latest version of Windows 10 (Home edition, not the Insider build) along with the latest version of NVDA! I'm so, so happy! I'm going to tell Apple about this, and beg them to please keep doing whatever they did that fixed things, and to never stop doing it! Lol. Clearly, though, this was an iTunes issue, not a Windows 10 or screen reader issue, as Sieghard and I figured out with our dialoguing back and forth on this list. Anyhow, I'm super happy! I can't stop grinning!
