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

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
