The first release of the scripts will just focus upon getting music across
from ITunes to the Shuffle and manipulating the software and hardware. Since
I wrote, I have also made it possible to easily view the contents of a CD in
ITunes and import songs into your ITunes library, even selecting
non-contiguous songs is easy to do.
I'll give anything a try, so let's get this release out, then I'll take a
look at the music store.

Hi
Here is a message I recently posted to the blind audible list. I wasn't
going to post it here, but given Chris's message, here goes.
I was very much inspired by Anna Dresner's book which I purchased from
national braille press recently, entitled "The IPod Experience", to begin
creating some jaws scripts for ITunes.
These scripts will be free of charge, basically because I have created
them since I personally want access to ITunes and the Shuffle to transfer
books from
audible. They should be ready for anyone who would like them some time
within the next two weeks, and if people would like them as and when,
please send
me a message.
At the moment, the following features are included. Please remember I am
at an early stage with this.
1. I have included the ability to track focus in the various lists, for
example what I call the main category list displaying such items as
"library, radio,
music store, etc." The good thing is that my scripts do not depend upon
highlight colour assignments to track the focus. This should also apply
to the
list of songs in the opposite list which shows which songs are on the
IPod Shuffle, although this has not been tested yet as I am awaiting my
new IPod
from Audible.
2. The concept behind these scripts is that everything should be
accessible from the keyboard. Therefore, we have a keystroke which moves
you directly
into the library area. Once there, you can use navigational keystrokes
to move forward and back through the available songs in your library.
Jaws will
announce the song in the library as you move to it, and will advise you
when you get to the top or bottom of the list.
3. If you find a song you wish to manipulate in the library with the
library navigation keys, simply select it with a keystroke, then for
example hit delete
or whatever you want to do. For example, enter will play the song.
4. The other thing I have done is to make it possible to drag and drop
into ITunes from windows explorer, and this seems to work well with
audible books.
You find the file you want, copy it to the clipboard with control+C, then
alt+tab over to ITunes, and hit control+V to paste it in there.
That's about it for the moment, but if anyone has any further
suggestions, feel free to let me know.
Brian Hartgen
