I've noticed this as well too. Hopefully this can get fixed soon!!! But for now, I'll just merge everything with google and play it off my tablet or phone with google play music and connect it all to the 1200 wat speakers I have connected to my stereo system for the present time being. If I have to use iTunes I'll either use narrator on my Win7 machine or download NVDA if necessary. Don't think I'm going back to Window Eyes just yet. I tried updating to the new version, 9, a few weeks back and was unfortunately deluged with numerous corrupted files.

Subject: RE: i tunes Actually, the newest version of iTunes works well with WindowEyes 9 as well; I just checked. So, the problem seems to be with iTunes JAWS scripts. -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michal Nowicki via Jfw Sent: Tuesday, February 3, 2015 11:07 AM To: 'The Jaws for Windows support list.' Subject: RE: i tunes Dear Joe and All, I am experiencing the same problems you are as a result of updating to iTunes 12.1. In addition, as I navigate through the list of artists/albums, JAWS simply announces "unlabeled," making this task impossible. Based on these observations and posts found on AppleVis forums, I must say that iTunes has become unusable with JAWS, at least when it comes to navigating the iTunes library; I haven't tested the new version with the iTunes store. What scares me even more, though, is that WindowEyes users are complaining about the update as well, given that, as you may recall, GW Micro's screen reader was the first to support iTunes for Windows, and that even after support was extended to JAWS and NVDA, Apple continued to recommend WindowEyes for blind users accessing iTunes with a pc. With that in mind, we JAWS users need to act! As soon as I send this message, I will call Apple's accessibility line, and I strongly advise you to do the same. Apple obviously needs to hear from us, and the more complaints the company gets, the more likely it is to address this issue. The toll-free phone number for the helpline that serves customers who use assistive technology is (877) 204-3930. In the meantime, consider exploring the following options: 1. Fortunately, iTunes 12.1 still works quite well with Nonvisual Desktop Access (NVDA), a free, open-source screen reader that, at times, is capable of reading things neither JAWS nor WindowEyes can handle. 2. If you don't want to try NVDA, consider downloading and installing the BlindTunes JAWS scripts. If you choose to do this, please keep in mind, however, that these scripts were written for iTunes 11, so they may or may not continue to work as expected, or at all. 3. Finally, if you don't like either option, ask Apple if they can help you go back to a previous version of iTunes. They may be able to do this for you if you can explain your situation to them. Good Luck!
