Re: Itunes, just starting out
Hi Amie and Kathy. Not too sure about JAWS 8 and 10 but I would think it would cope easily with the older versions of Itunes, 8.0 and 8.1. I used JAWS 9 with Itunes 8.1 for a long time and am now still using Itunes 8.1 but with JAWS 11. Itunes has been improved, particularly with access to the store, in recent versions ov 9.X so I would suggest trying the latest version and maybe uninstalling and going back to one of the older versions if there's too many issues. I've also pasted some details for an alternative way of accessing he Itunes store that maybe worth trying. I'd have to say though that I haven't tried this myself so can't vouch for it personally. There are also details for joining the portable player list at the end of the details which you may be interested in. Regards. Kevin Hey all; found this last night and was pretty impressed. How many of you hate having to open iTunes just to access the store? It turns out that someone has written a google app that takes the cryptic xml that the store is written in and converts it to normal html. If that went completely over your head, it means that your now able to access the iTunes stores through your web browser of choice. http://app-store.appspot.com I played with this last night with ie 7 and supernova 11.5 and was very impressed with the accessibility of the pages. The nice thing is that if you want to preview a track for example, you don't even have to open up iTunes to do this. The preview file shows up as a file download dialog and your able to play the downloaded files in vlc and I'm assuming winamp as well. Hopefully this will help someone.

check out Which JAWS releases support iTunes 8? at http://www.freedomscientific.com/fs_support/BulletinView.asp?QC=1302 to find instructions on how to get JFW 8 to work with iTunes. -- Christopher chalt...@gmail.com On 3/31/2010 6:58 AM, Kevin Lloyd wrote: Hi Amie and Kathy.

Re: Itunes, just starting out
Suggest you go to Brian Hartgen's web page- www.tandt-consultancy.com and look at his scripts for JAWS, called J-tunes. To hear podcasts about JAWS and I-tunes, go to Freedom Scientific's web site- www.hj.com and look for their podcast which is called F S cast. The January 2010 or February 2010 podcast is about Jaws and I-tunes. There are other podcasts about it that you can find by doing a search in google using the terms- hartgen i-tunes If you have the patience to read a detailed description of i-tunes, largely written by Anna Dressner of National Braille Press, download the j-tunes user manual from www.tandt-consultancy.com Whilst it is about using the Jaws scripts, it does have very detailed descriptions of how i-tunes works and what you can do with it. The problem you will have is that you are using Jaws Version 8. I-tunes will talk for you without the J-tunes scripts but there are parts that you will find frustrating unless you know what I-tunes is actually doing. That is why I suggest that you read the J-tunes user manual. Hope this helps.

Re: Itunes, just starting out
Hi, Itunes does not work on the braille plus. You would need to copy the mp3 files onto the device as mentioned by the previous member. - Original Message - From: Catherine Turner catherineturner2...@googlemail.com To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2010 5:56 PM Subject: Re: Itunes, just starting out Hi, Do you mean you want to play the tunes on your Braille Plus? Though I'm not familiar with the Braille Plus, I've just googled it and I'm 99 percent sure it wouldn't work with Itunes. Itunes, though it can be used as a music management program and media player, is fundamentally for communicating with Ipods/Iphones and as far as I know it wouldn't communicate with your Braille Plus. If your aim is to play music on your Braille Plus you would copy the mp3 files onto it. Or if I'm misunderstanding what you want to do please say and I'll try and help you...
