Hi James,
Thanks for the info, although the voice synthesizers have confused
things, as they do sometimes. I was talking about AAC not OGG.
That's "A A C", which is the Apple MPEG Layer 4 format.

Neither do I when I asked why do we really need ITunes. As you say
Josh it is possible to find alternative solutins - although I would
like to experience ITunes, as i've heard itis very good.
For your ogg conversion Josh, there is CDEX on Windows, maybe there
is a Mac equivilant. Although I think mp3 is possibly mroe useful
for some as if their music player doens't work for their oggs, they
can at least play them on something else. But I like oggs and
prefer them for music and audio.

Given enough time and effort you could find individual
alternatives for each of the things that iTunes does well
collectively. Some podcasts require you to subscribe through
iTunes, in which case there is no alternative. I've never run
across a ripper that converted to AAC format, which I prefer over
MP3. It's all a matter of taste. I like iTunes and i use it
under Windows, but i don't claim that my opinion is right for
everyone. *smile*

cause if you can't recommend any alternitives to replace itunes
then your oppenion has no weight.

dear god, I agree. I'm not quite sure where this blind fashion
(excuse the pun) but damn, its annoying as hell to hear the
first question that is ask when ever I bring up the mac for
the blind is "does it work with ITunes?"
no! and who cares. if you want to buy music there are plenty
of places to do that, podcasting, mp3 and media playere there
are tons of places for that also, itunes is a piece of
garbage in my book and I think its a fashion!!!!

Hi folks,
I don't honestly think that ITunes support is that
important. Okay I'll admit i was more than a little
surprised when Voice Over didntt work with Apple's ITunes -
one of its trademark products, but well do we really need it
- I've deleted it from my mac.

in the mac news websites and a few podcasts on coverage of
Steve Jobs wwdc keynote they say nothing about the new
accessability.
I was glad to see this news about a improved voice over i
guess this will be 2.0 version.
That is super cool though in having the ceo of a major
company like this demo such a small nich highly important
feature like this. Doubt others would be as berave or
thoughtful hint ms.
It would also be great of Apple if they did another beta
test program for leopard accessaibility like they did for
tiger voice over version 1.
From what I heard and read about the leopard features that
were being reported on I was not very impresed and thining
I might pass on it,now I am excitied with the new updated
accessaibility. I hope itunes will be much more useable
this time around and we will able to access the itunes
store with vo.
