Hi David and John,

>print it out on paper? 

No, you don't have to actually print.  You can tab over to preview if
you like.   It may be easier to read all the labeled columns and entries
in preview without having to do this in iTunes.

However, you can also add pdf files to your iTunes library, and this
is a neat way to keep track of playlists and information about backups.
When you import pdf files into iTunes, you can tag them with title,
artist etc.  So, for example, if you have a recorded a class lecture and
added it to the iTunes music library, and want to store your class
notes for it in a pdf file, you could add the pdf file to the music library
with the same tags.  Then when you search your Music library both
entries will come up.  If you double click on the pdf notes, they will
open in Preview (or whatever your default application is set to for
that file -- in case you want to use Adobe Acrobat Reader).  PDF files
will not sync to iPods, so you don't have to worry about taking up
space on players.

(I'm answering John's question here since it is of general interest).
The only way I've found to do this accessibly is to bookmark the 
url for iTunes Power Search of pocasts:

http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSearch.woa/wa/advancedSearch?mt=2

(the mt=2 selects podcasts, mt=3 is audiobooks,  mt=1 is music).

If you go to this address in your browser, iTunes will come up in the 
podcast Power Search window.

Under iTunes, do a command-option-f to get to the Search text field, then tab 
twice.

You'll get the unlabeled fields for Title, Author, and Description.  If you 
type in
any keywords there, you'll get a list of podcasts that match the criteria.  For 
example, if I leave the first field blank, tab, type in 'PRI' for the Author, 
and 
carriage return, I'll get a number of programs for Public Radio International 
that 
will show up in the Songs window.   You should be able to tab over and hear
"Songs Outline".  I type a command-a and up arrow to start at the first entry 
and
am able to play the most recent podcast of each listed subscription by pressing
space bar.

I haven't tried to subscribe this way -- you probably need to have cursor 
tracking
on or mousekeys so you can press the subscribe key  when you right arrow to the 
column where it  says free.  

If you use the podcast search, be sure to clear each of the three search fields 
that
you can tab to before you carriage return since VoiceOver won't tell you that 
there 
is text in the fields from previous searches.

HTH

Cheers, 

Esther
