 The Squeeze Box unit itself isn't really accessible. But you can control 
 the
 unit from the server software and this works quite well, ignoring the 7.0
 issues I mentioned here.

 Hey Kelly,

 I have just forwarded your note to a colleague within the company for
 which I am employed.  He is a managing director of the Logitech
 technical support project, which includes Squeezebox.  Hopefully, I
 can get some answers from Logitech.

 In the meantime, I would strongly urge you to open up a ticket with
 the company's technical support team (which actually goes to my
 employer) and
 escalate it as far as possible, not granting permission for its
 closure until the access issue is addressed to your satisfaction.  If
 any others out here have Logitech products with access issues, I would
 advise you all to do likewise.  I'm wondering if we can somehow
 utilize the technical support process of some companies to get at
 least some of what we need?

 Hello,

 Apologies if this has been discussed here already but I didn't see it.
 Folks here turned me on to the Squeeze Box more than a year ago and
 I've been very pleased.

 However, I just updated to the 7.0 version of the Slim Server Software
 for streaming  to a Squeeze Box and initial impressions are that the
 server software is less accessible than the 6.5 version.  You can
 switch back to the classic interface which resolves most of the
 challenges.

 The main reason I updated was because now the Pandora music service is
 intigrated into the server software.  Earlier you had to connect to
 the Squeeze Network.

 The biggest issues I noticed in the 7.0 server software were numerous
 instances of missing alt text, actionable UI elements no longer
 created as standard HTML links and many more areas that require use of
 a mouse.  For example to play an entry in the 7.0 server software, you
 now need to use whatever mechanism your screen reader has for dealing
 with onmouseovers to get a menu of things like play and add to play
 list to appear.

 Just thought I'd share in case anyone else updates,

 Kelly
