Hi there
There's a much easier way to buy than to click on the price, starting
with iTunes 8. Pull up a context menu with vo-shift-m and there's a
"buy or get currently selected songs" item. Simple, though perhaps not
as obvious as it could be. The buy button should be exposed as well, I
agree, though I don't think that pressing vo-space on the name of the
song should act as the buy button, as that would also not be obvious
and, further, inconsistent with how text items in a table behave.

Right, that's what I did, but how did you know the price was really
a buy button? Why isn't the default action to do the buy button when
I hit the VO-Space? I'm suggestion that this could be a lot more
intuitive.

Still seems like the actual buy process is a little weird. I go to
the
iTunes store, the search on Apologetix. Then I go to the Songs
Table and
interact with that. Going to the first row I can space to preview
Boulevard of Both Extremes. That all works fine. I then VO-right a
couple times to the price column. At no point does it announce the
Buy
Song button which is next to the price. If interact with that cell in
the table all it does is tell me there are five characters which are
$0.99. If I do VO-I for item chooser I just get a long list of $0.99
text over and over. If I VO-A I still only get $0.99.
So if I didn't have existing knowledge of the buy song button next to
the price, how would I even know to mess with this? If I VO-M and
go to
the Store menu there is no Buy option there either. I also thought
that
hitting VO-Space would perform the default action, which would be
to buy
the track since that's what my VO cursor was on. The only way I could
activate the buy button was VO-Shift-Space to simulate a mouse click.
Is it really this convoluted? Silent buy buttons only accessible via
mouse clicks?
