Hi Charles,
With all due respect, I don’t think you can compare Chess and iTunes *smile*. That would be saying why invent cars if a horse and buggy worked perfectly well. You can always find a comparison to support a point you want to make. The point is that Apple has changed and will continue to change iTunes and probably iOS to go along with their vision for the product and with what they feel people like. By people I mean the sighted world. While visually impaired people in my opinion still are important to Apple despite how it seems accessibility is being put on the backburner, we are a very small minority. I remember when touch screen devices first started to gain popularity a lot of blind people groaned and moaned about what was going to happen and before we knew it Apple showed us what would happen, they made touch screen devices accessible. I remember when I had MobileSpeak from Code Factory I once borrowed an LG touch screen phone which ran Windows Mobile 6.1 and I installed MobileSpeak on it which back then boasted touch screen support. I had to touch the 4 corners of the phone in different ways to simulate pressing the home button and so on and while it seemed sort of cool at first, when I compare it to my first iOS device which I got only a year or so later the attempt to make touch screen phones accessible that way was rather funny. Sort of like a little boy with a plastic hammer imitating his carpenter Dad. But back to iTunes. iTunes 12 I think is awesome except for just a couple of small things which can be done but were maybe a bit more easy to accomplish in iTunes 11. Other than than that I think it works great. I’d love to do a Podcast about iTunes 12, but let’s hope Jonathan is maybe considering it since he has done such a fantastic job with iTunes 11 and Jaws 14, maybe he’ll have an iTunes 12 with Jaws 16 follow-up; after all, this type of thing is what he does, I’m just a retailer who likes technology.

Chess is a good example. Even after a few thousand years, it's still one of the best strategy games for two players, and the rules of the game haven't been changed all that much. Why haven't they? Because the game works as it is designed to. On the other hand, companies like Microsoft are always having issues with their new fangled, newly designed, current operating systems when they had a perfectly good system, namely Windows XP. However, they would rather stay current and innovative, as well as less dependable and accessible than before. --- Be positive!

On the other hand, even when the product meets other people's needs, but it doesn't meet your needs, you want the product to be changed. The fact is, other people have different needs, and to remain competitiv:, companies need to change to remain viable, competitiv:, and alive. Think about it, how many apps on the app store have not been upgraded and are now effectively dead? How many apps are no longer available because the creator has gone on to other things?

If it ain't broke, quit fixing it!! Adding new features is OK, but don't remove what works well, and don't change the layout so drastically that it doesn't even resemble what really works well. In my opinion, changing something just because you feel that it is time to do so, whether it be to antiquity or to appear to stay current, makes no sense to me at all. --- Be positive!

I try to transfer apps to my iPhone with iTunes 12 but there is no "sync" button and I can't check and uncheck the apps in the list. ITunes 11 worked so well, so I am always wondering why change something that works? Regards Fanus -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
