What I would honestly like to know is why the U I of ITunes is so standard,
I mean standard labeled buttons, your source list is just a tree view, your
songs outline is just a list view, your search box is just an edit field,
your menu bar is a standard nothing weird menu bar, your status bar, is just
a standard status bar, etc. Why then, on a Mac, is ITunes so goldenly
beautiful, yet on Windows, it may as well shet the bed.

Subject: Re: iTunes Accessibility - have I been mistaken?
I think there are some assumptions being made here. I don't believe
at all that anyone is being "ignored". That kind of statement seems
quite a bit out of place all things considered. No one knows exactly
what is going on with iTunes and what Apple is or is not doing about it.
Also, in regard to overall accessibility, I'd say that 90 or 95 percent
accessible is a much more accurate statement. The iTunes store can still
be used and what can't be accomplished with VoiceOver surely does not
constitute 50 percent inaccessible.
Take Care

Your right about that, and just to show you how much they're ignoring
your concerns just take a look at every time there is an update to
Itunes. Now this is only a small problem but the point is that it would
really be an easy fix would they decide to make it. Did you ever notice
that after an update you couldn't buy a song without hitting a totally
inaccessible button?

we can buy songs from it so it is half way there but the window for

Subject: iTunes Accessibility - have I been mistaken?
G'day,
I read an article by Peter Abrams about the accessibility of the
iPhone. It's about the *lack of* accessibility of the iPhone,
mostly. Anyway, in the comments of course there's the requisite -
I thought - idiot saying that iTunes isn't accessible.
I assumed this was a Windows user who had no clue and I was
rather, erm, strident in informing him of his mistaken beliefs.
Anyway, he's replied again listing specifics of what he can't do
(mainly, interact with the main iTunes Story window in any way)
and saying that "his blind friend" is not just a Leopard user but
a beta tester for VO. I'm not a VO user myself as many of you
know, so I'm concerned that I may have ended up with both feet in
my mouth here!
The article is here:
<http://www.it-analysis.com/business/change/content.php?cid=10678
>
If you search for "Big Man" you'll jump to his first comment. If
you want to leave a reply on that web page, please please please
be very polite and no flaming! Just facts about whether he's
right or not... I don't want to create problems or "apple fanboy
rage" or make VO users look bad in any way. If you want to reply
on the list, I'll leave another comment there with links to the
list replies via the archives.
Cheers,
Ricky
