Also, remember that a sighted person has to deal with something blind people
don't, and that is missing the click spot with the mouse. Many times, a
sighted person will attempt to click on something, and not get the mouse
exactly where they want it, so they need to try again, we don't have to deal
with that. Computers can't read people's minds.

Not to be snippy here, but what are people's issues with this sort
of thing? Yes, I know it sounds like a lot, but when a sighted person
wants to view or buy something, they first need to locate it visually
on the page, find its price, and then move the mouse to it and click
it. Even for just buying a few songs, one still needs to do quite a
bit of maneuvering of the mouse cursor.
With VO, it's possible to set the mouse cursor to follow the VO
cursor, so routing the mouse to VO is not necessary in most cases, nor
is it necessary thusly, to verify the position of the mouse cursor.
So in essence, when you nav to the price with VO, you can then simply
click the mouse and you get the dialogue.
I mention this sort of thing, as it seems I hear this bit again and
again and again. Just because someone is sighted, doesn't mean that
they don't actually move or do any work at all to find things on the
screen, and then locate them with the mouse cursor. Sometimes it can
be quite a pain to find something visually on the screen in a complex
page of pictures and text items. So it's not just the visually
impaired that may need to do just a bit of navigating. It's just not
all that different in the practical day to day in some cases. <smile>
Anyway, enough from me and hope yer all having a lovely Sunday eve!…
Smiles,
Cara :)

Is it possible to create an account using VO? I wish it wasn't so
complicated just to get a few simple songs.

Dear Will,
If I could chime in - and I hope not confuse matters - my experience
tells me that: firstly, you have to interact with the list of the songs;
secondly, you need to use vo keys to navigate to the price; hirdly,
bring the mouse cursor to vo cursor with vo +command+f5; confirm that the
price is under the mouse by pressing vo+f5; click the mouse button. Only
then will you get the dialogue asking you whether you want to purchase
the item and you will have a chance of pressing the buy button. Allthis,
however, is possible only and only if you have an account with Itunes.
Others on the list will probably have much more to say on the matter.
I'm still a beginner.
Best wishes
Simon

U can't click on the price, u have to click on the "buy song" button.
Voice over won't read that, so u will have to use the mouse. U should
also get a "purchased" playlist, if u buy anything from the store, that
is how u know if u bought the song or not.
