Nope, no joy either. Did notice something though: I cannot do this on the mac, but in windows with Jaws I can right click on the item I want to buy and then choose "copy iTunes store URL". Then, drop this in IE and it magically brings up the entry in the browser, then refocuses (or re-opens) iTunes. Now at the top of the source list where the entry for your library is, there is something that looks like: music re <item title> <account name>... When I had sighted assistance, there was some kind of confirmation step that had to be performed to complete the purchase (even though I've set the one-click preference). I think the trip to the browser initiated the purchase, but there is one more confirmation that I cannot perform because I don't know what magic thing to click on next. Damn stupid if you ask me!
