Mailing [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a Thank You and congratulations
is a nice idea. Although some of these improvements have taken a
while to implement, when they've come, they've really done a pretty
comprehensive job. Making sure that the release supports an
accessible interface in both the Mac and Windows versions (at least
for Window-Eyes) must have been a fairly major undertaking.
Simon, I wouldn't have guessed that Apple would come out with voiced
menus this soon, either.
Cheers,
Esther

Dear All,
May I just say that I have downloaded and Installed Itunes 8 and
have bought two albums of my favourite singers, not just single
songs. It is truly wonderful. I'm going to e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
to congratulate them. Maybe we should all do that to let them now
that we appreciate their efforts. I guess they deserve our charming
offensive. Smile!
Did someone just mention Ipod Nano having voiced menus? Crumbs! I've
recently bought a Nano 3rd generation, I just hope I can upgrade my
software should it really be true that a Nano can now give me speech
feedback.
On a facetious note, I shall have to be careful about spending too
much in the Istore now.
With best wisehs
Simon

Hi Esther,
I am currently running iTunes 8 and it is amazing. The Store is
now totally accessible. I love it. It's now also accessible in
Windows for Window-Eyes users.

Hi,
The on-line reports for the Apple event seem to report fixes for
iTunes store album purchasing and other VoiceOver accessibility
improvements in iTunes 8. I'm pasting in the section from real-
time report of the event from ilounge:
10:04 AM: iTunes 8. A ton of new stuff. Few main pieces: HD TV
shows. Accessibility - requests for voiceover and other tech
fulfilled. New browsing and Genius. Browsing of albums has been
weak. Grid-style display of album covers now appears, and a bar at
the top lets you pick albums, artists, genres, composers, just
like in iPhoto. You can pick scale. Works with TV shows, movies,
podcasts.
Cheers,
Esther

Not much info yet, but Steve Jobs specifically mentioned
VoiceOver support for iTunes 8. Looks like this could be big.
iTunes 8 will be available later today. More later today on
Lioncourt.com
