I see the biggest issue here in not being able to access the iTunes Music Store. Once you have a file there are a number of ways to play it such as with FrontRow which is accessible. The fact that the iTunes Music Store is not accessible is a ADA legal concern and I am somewhat shocked that Apple legal department hasn't taken notice of that fact. Would Apple ever build an inaccessible physical store?

If I were Apple I would be watching the NFB vs. Target Stores case very closely because if the courts rule that online stores must meet the same ADA requirements as physical ones iTunes would make a really big target to go after.

I think the case can be made that it matters not if your business is on line or in the physical world, it must be accessible.

Hello Cheryl and list

I am guessing that the reason behind Apple's slowness at increasingly accessibility for i Tunes is that they are supporting two versions, one on Mac and the other on Windows.

Besides, there are other programs that may even play for files than i Tunes and I too only use it to read Audible books.

Best Wishes
