Yes, somewhere, it should say click on price to purchase or the by button should be available. I just naturally used the price since that is what I use for cd universe which instructs you to "click on price to ad to shopping cart".
By the way, I like putting my stuff in the chopping cart instead of downloading it directly. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Blouch" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "General discussions on all topics relating to the use of Mac OS X by theblind" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, October 03, 2008 5:33 PM Subject: Re: iTunes 8.0.1 released with Accessibility Enhancements To summarize, there are at least ways, VO-Shift-Space and VO-Shift-M with context menu navigation. Both work, but somebody just exploring is not going to discover these easily. Lack of discoverability in many case equals lack of usability and capability. I'm not clear why the buy button itself, while visible, is not announced to at least give a hint. It feels like both VO buy solutions are 'mouse hacks' to simulate what a visual mouse user would do. At least it's possible, if not obvious, how to buy a track.
