Hi, I have a question. I want to make sure I understand. One of the reasons I have not upgraded to itunes nine is because of the switch in the itunes store from the songs table to the table being embedded in the html as an html table. I like the songs table and use the sort features as well as typing in a few letters to jump down the column. When you click on the see all, what exactly loads? Is it a songs table that works as it does in itunes 8 or is it just another table in html, only more results are displayed?
Thanks so much and I hope my question makes sense, Christina On Sep 14, 2009, at 9:46 AM, Esther wrote: > > Hi Anna, > > What I usually do myself is VO-Right arrow from "Songs" to the "See > all" link and VO-Space.
