You can try jumping to the top of the source list with the VO-Shift-Home command or, since I think you're on a MacBook, VO-Shift-Fn-Left Arrow. I press this sequence on my MacBook by putting my ring finger on the Fn key in addition to pressing the VO-keys (Control and Option) with the middle and index fingers of my left hand. I sort of flatten the position of my fingers so that I'm contacting the keys with the pads rather than the tips of my fingers, and I slide all three fingers of my left hand up along the keys so the middle finger and part of the ring finger presses the Shift key as well as the Control, Option, and Fn keys, and then I press the Left Arrow (for Home with Fn) or Right Arrow (for End with Fn) key with my right hand to move to the top or bottom of the sources table (or messages table in mail, or other lists that require scrolling). I find that if there are a lot of playlists in the sources table I won't always easily get directly to the source I want if I don't type quickly enough, and I may need to use a combination of VO-arrow keys and typing the playlist I want. Also, while you can use item chooser menu (VO-I) to search for "Library" as an alternative way to move to the top of the sources table, that only works currently if that item is in the visible part of the sources table -- if you have lots of playlists and are positioned at one at the end of the alphabet you won't be able to use item chooser menu to move to the top library playlists (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Audiobooks, etc.) by searching for "Library" or "Music", etc. However, using VO-Shift-Home (VO-Shift-Fn-Left Arrow on a laptop) after interacting with the sources table should always take you to the top library listings, and you can arrow down from there to select items music, etc. > >Also is there a way to get LBC out of London to play on iTunes?

I don't think there's an obvious LBC solution with iTunes, but a Google search showed that there is an app for playing LBC radio on the iPhone. This could be one of those situations where the iPhone app is accessible to the Mac although the web pages are not. Maybe one of the iPhone 3GS users can check this out? The app is called LBC 97.3 from Global Radio: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=297700808&mt=8 HTH Cheers, Esther --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
