music won't play in my itunes playlists and I know them to be present

[llumpkin]

I'm having the following issue. Songs won't play in many of my playlists and
I have to start the shuffle process again. When I go to the playlist
manually within itunes, The affected songs error as not found but when I
click them again, they play. I can then play them normally but I have to do
this one by one in a playlist with hundreds of tracks. Is there any way to
automate this process.

RE: Broken accessibility of iTunes playlists

Yes, read below... Are we the only ones using iTunes for playlists?

These are the messages I've sent to Apple re this problem. I hope those of you 
who have noticed issues are also writing :)

Sent: Monday, September 28, 2015 12:19 PM

Subject: Broken playlist accessibility in iTunes

 

These problems refer to keyboard accessibility issues in playlists and were 
created in iTunes 12.2.1 and continue in 12.3:

 

*Selection:

Within playlists created with these iTunes versions, selection no longer seems 
to follow the cursor keys- so standard windows keyboard commands for cut or 
copy result in a "nothing selected" error message. It is impossible to 
re-arrange the order of songs created under these versions of iTunes. The only 
playlists which are still functional are those which were created in prior 
versions of iTunes.

 

*Navigation: 

Using the arrow keys, after arrowing up or down for 15 or so lines, the 
selection focus is lost. You cannot read the information or proceed further in 
that direction without first arrowing backward one line- which then allows you 
to move forward one more line- thus advancing only one line at a time 
(backwards then forwards) in a see-saw fashion.  The cursor actually does move 
but the focus seems to be lost and the new song information is not read.

Using the home or end key moves the cursor to the end or beginning of the 
playlist; but JAWS does not read the information on that line. It is necessary 
to arrow away from that song and back before the information can be read.

Similarly, the page up and page down keys will not read the information for the 
song on which the cursor lands.

 

*Nuisance artwork:

With these iTunes versions, artwork appears on each line of the playlist. Even 
copying the songs from an old playlist without artwork into a new one created 
under these versions produces a playlist with the artwork icons. 

 

*Nuisance iTunes becoming unresponsive:

Accidental use of the standard windows command Control-Home results in iTunes 
freezing. This command is so commonly used for various purposes by keyboard 
users that this is bothersome.

 

This is my previous message to you re these issues:

 

From: Don & Cher [mailto:oneagleswin...@bellsouth.net] 
Sent: Wednesday, August 12, 2015 8:09 AM

Subject: Keyboard accessibility to playlists broken in iTunes 12.2.1

 

Since installing iTunes 12.2.1, new playlists are not accessible to persons 
relying on keyboard accessibility to work with them. I phoned Apple 
Accessibility recently to see if the tech could replicate my problem. He 
verified that with the latest iTunes, you cannot use keyboard shortcuts to 
select, copy or move songs in new playlists with the keyboard (using a PC). He 
verified that it is not a JAWS issue as he did not have JAWS installed, and 
could not perform these functions either. I can still use all these keyboard 
commands within playlists created prior to installing the new iTunes- but even 
if I duplicate an old playlist and rename it (so I can have a editable 
playlist) the newly duplicated playlist is non-editable- apparently because it 
was duplicated under the new iTunes. The only way I can add songs to one of 
these new playlists is by using 'add to playlist' on the context menu- and the 
order of songs is unchangeable by this method- I.E. the order you add the songs 
is unchangeable after the fact. So, basically playlists are not very useful.

Broken accessibility of iTunes playlists

These are the messages I've sent to Apple re this problem. I hope those of
you who have noticed issues are also writing :)

Subject: Broken playlist accessibility in iTunes

 

These problems refer to keyboard accessibility issues in playlists and were
created in iTunes 12.2.1 and continue in 12.3:

 

*Selection:

Within playlists created with these iTunes versions, selection no longer
seems to follow the cursor keys- so standard windows keyboard commands for
cut or copy result in a "nothing selected" error message. It is impossible
to re-arrange the order of songs created under these versions of iTunes. The
only playlists which are still functional are those which were created in
prior versions of iTunes.

 

*Navigation: 

Using the arrow keys, after arrowing up or down for 15 or so lines, the
selection focus is lost. You cannot read the information or proceed further
in that direction without first arrowing backward one line- which then
allows you to move forward one more line- thus advancing only one line at a
time (backwards then forwards) in a see-saw fashion.  The cursor actually
does move but the focus seems to be lost and the new song information is not
read.

Using the home or end key moves the cursor to the end or beginning of the
playlist; but JAWS does not read the information on that line. It is
necessary to arrow away from that song and back before the information can
be read.

Similarly, the page up and page down keys will not read the information for
the song on which the cursor lands.

 

*Nuisance artwork:

With these iTunes versions, artwork appears on each line of the playlist.
Even copying the songs from an old playlist without artwork into a new one
created under these versions produces a playlist with the artwork icons. 

 

*Nuisance iTunes becoming unresponsive:

Accidental use of the standard windows command Control-Home results in
iTunes freezing. This command is so commonly used for various purposes by
keyboard users that this is bothersome.

 

This is my previous message to you re these issues:

Subject: Keyboard accessibility to playlists broken in iTunes 12.2.1

 

Since installing iTunes 12.2.1, new playlists are not accessible to persons
relying on keyboard accessibility to work with them. I phoned Apple
Accessibility recently to see if the tech could replicate my problem. He
verified that with the latest iTunes, you cannot use keyboard shortcuts to
select, copy or move songs in new playlists with the keyboard (using a PC).
He verified that it is not a JAWS issue as he did not have JAWS installed,
and could not perform these functions either. I can still use all these
keyboard commands within playlists created prior to installing the new
iTunes- but even if I duplicate an old playlist and rename it (so I can have
a editable playlist) the newly duplicated playlist is non-editable-
apparently because it was duplicated under the new iTunes. The only way I
can add songs to one of these new playlists is by using 'add to playlist' on
the context menu- and the order of songs is unchangeable by this method-
I.E. the order you add the songs is unchangeable after the fact. So,
basically playlists are not very useful.

I was told by one accessability tech to talk to my screen reader developer.  
For an Apple Program?
