On Behalf Of Debbie Crafts Sent: June 12, 2004 1:23 PM To: 'PC audio discussion list. ' Subject: RE: MP3 Ipod
Hello, I won an Ipod at work and have been able to get it somewhat functional. The first step was to ditch the Itunes software, which I found totally unusable. There is a peace of software called Anapod Explorer put out by RedChair software which works like a dream. The URL is www.redchairsoftware.com and It organizes the Ipod in to folders and puts an icon on your desktop which you basically access like just another folder in My Computer. You can either copy/paste or send-to files to this window just like you can a folder on your hard drive, and Anapod even lets you manipulate playlists in an intuitive manner. It doesn't insist on synchronizing the Ipod with a library on your computer as Itunes apparently does. The documentation is called the Omnitome and is on their website.
In terms of using the device itself, I found that the remote control is far the easiest interface. There are definite buttons for play/pause, previous and next. You press down on the prev. and next buttons to fast forward or rewind through a selection. I have had limited success in using the unit itself by counting the audible clicks emitted by the Ipod when you access the touch wheel. The second selection on the menu is "playlists" and then you touch the middle button for enter. If you numerically sequence your playlists in Anapod, you can then count clicks to the playlist you want, enter, then either touch the top of the wheel to play or use the play button on the remote. Not the easiest interface in the world to use, but with a little elbow grease, it can be made to cooperate a little. I highly recommend that anyone interested in using an Ipod check out Anapod explorer. I also found it essential to sit with a sighted person enough to get some guidance in figuring out the interface. Hope these remarks are helpful.

Subject: jfw and iTunes
Hey everyone, A belated Merry Christmas to all! I actually got a gift that is the cause for this entry, so hopefully someone can help.
I got a special edition U2 iPod for Christmas and installed the iTunes software onto my computer, today. I am running it on a Win2000 PC with JFW 5.0 and I am noticing that the program isn't very jaws friendly at all.
Would anyone be able to give me tips as to how to navigate through it, some scripts that might be available (and instructions on how to load them), and/or an alternative program that may suit my needs?
Thanks in advance for any help!
-Marc
