Hi, maybe I can offer some tips on navigating the new layout. :) Keep in mind, I've only been playing with it today.
You can navigate between music, movies, podcast, tones, etc. by command-1, command-2, and so on. Go to the view menu bar to learn the command-number options. I just learned if my focus is in the store, the command-numbers will bring me to that section of the store. Command-1 music, command-2 movies, command-4 podcast, and so on. Lol, I found it tricky to get back to my music, until I remember the lovely item chooser. Hit command-1 to focus on the music page, then VO-i for item chooser. Begin typing myMusic and the my music radio button will show up, enter on that and you are focussed the my music radio button, activate it. Command-B is still around for the column browser, I for one use this feature often. Something I wondering, but haven't played with, is if it would be possible to use VoiceOver hot spots for the row of radio buttons -- my music, playlist, match, radio, store. That would be nice.
