Yeah, I actually click on the price. After I do that it asks me if I
want to buy and download the song. If you've never bought anything
before it will ask you to create an account. I used my apple id (this
is *not* .mac) and it had all my information. But you do need sighted
help for this. I am perplexed though as to why it is not working for
you.

So, do you really actually click on the price? When I had sighted
assistance the
other day, he was saying something about another icon or something
right next to
the price, but of course VoiceOver (and Jaws on Windows) is not
showing such a
thing.

So, removing a couple of columns makes no difference for you? You
may
have to do a couple of columns to shorten the amount of stuff
displayed on the screen. I know that people have had to do this to
get purchasing to work. I personally have never had any problems
purchasing and I've bought lots of things, so I can't really give you
personal experience on what exactly to do. Maybe if you have someone
sighted there ask them what happens when you move the mouse to the
price.
That's all I've got. Sorry.

No, still does the same thing. When I do the mouse click, my focus
moves
down about 3 or 4 rows in the songs list and that's about all.
I don't get it.

Hi. Press command j when in the store view. Try unchecking some of
the collumns such as time or something else. I suspect what is
happening is that the collumns are going off the screen but voice
over
can still read them. Try unchecking some of the collumns and then
try
routing the mouse and clicking on the price.

Ya, well I'm trying to put together a CD for band practice, and
iTunes
simply has the best selection of stuff, hands down. Try searching
on
the
name of just about any song and you'll get many versions of it. Its
amazing
to just listen to the previews and get a feel for how many ways of
doing the
same song there can be. EMusic does not have this kind of
selection, or
this kind of search capability. Ya sure you can search for
strings in
artist, track, album fields etc, but then you have to crawl your
way
through
the listings and quickly listening to a ppreview of something
didn't
seem to
be straightforward.
ITunes is great, but it just isn't accessible. You can sort of do
most
things, but I still haven't been able to purchase anything without
sighted
assistance. Moving the mouse to the 99 cent field and clicking does
nothing
except moves me to some other entry in the songs outline.

Emusic is pretty accessible because you don't actually need any
software. You just log into the web site and use your web
browser to
download the music. There is no DRM either.

I know that many of you on this list are ardent Mac/Apples fans
but I
personally don't like paying 99 cents per track on iTunes,
unless I
can't get the tunes I want anywhere else. However, this can get
really
expensive when you want to download a lot of tunes. Anyway to cut
to the
chase there are alternatives like emusic.com. I cannot vouch for
its
accessibility however but the subscription rates are reasonable
and
they
have a great selection of tunes.
