RE: is amazon music for I devices and pc accessible?

Thank you mark.  I think we've decided that amazon prime is probably not for us 
and amazon music doesn't offer enough classical and old music for us.

Subject: RE: is amazon music for I devices and pc accessible?

Hello Again Ari,

Well, I just spent over an hour with my Amazon online music library, IE11, and 
Jaws for Windows, version 16.  

I must tell you that my experience with using Jaws instead of Zoomtext was 
vastly different and not, in my opinion, in a good way.

Now keep in mind that I am not an advanced Jaws user, anymore, especially when 
it comes to using web browsers so take what I write with a grain of salt, as it 
were.

I was surprised at how unstructured the Amazon Music Library is with regard to 
Jaws.  For example, there are no headings to speak of and, worst still, the 
tracks appear not to be listed in a table, proper.  

While I did find it easy to download various tracks, I have no doubt that this 
is because I had previously seen the structure of the interface, visually.   I 
don't think I could have made heads or tails out of anything had I not 
experienced the interface, over the past couple of months, with my eyes, on a 
desktop PC using a screen magnifier.

Just so you know, I used a laptop running Windows 7 with IE 11 and absolutely 
no screen magnification.  In short, I did not and could not use my eyes.  
Although I do have the latest version of Jaws on one of my Desktops, I wanted 
to make certain that I would not cheat during the experience by leaning in and 
peeping at the monitor (smile).  How's that for honesty? (big smile)

To be honest, were I to lose the ability to use Zoomtext in order to access the 
Amazon music library, I would probably never buy another song from them, 
preferring instead to use iTunes.  

Again, I am not an advanced Jaws user.  In fact, I had to type the direct URL 
into the browser in order to locate my online music library as I could not get 
Jaws to land on the Music Library link on the main page of Amazon.  The direct 
URL to your Amazon music library is:
http://amazon.com/musiclibrary

Okay, there you have it from my perspective.

Mark

Mark, i've had a horrible time trying to use the Amazon music downloader 
program for Windows with NVDA. I haven't found the browser experience to be any 
better. Have you tried using a screen reader instead of Zoom text to access 
your music and downloaded from the web, without using the downloader program?

Thanks,
Ari

Hello Larry,

I have not used the iOS Amazon Music app.  However, I can tell you that the 
Windows version of the app does not play nicely with ZoomText.  In fact, I 
recently installed it on my Windows 10 computer only to remove it about an hour 
later.  

To be honest, assuming that you are using a modern browser on your PC, the 
Amazon browser experience is completely screen-reader friendly.  All of the 
buttons are labeled and, to me anyway, are arranged in a logical order.

After purchasing music from Amazon, I simply download the track or tracks, as 
the case may be, to my PC for playback and eventual iPod use.

The iOS app is accessible. I can't speak to the PC app, as I didn't even know 
there was one. And my PC is so old, that it is probably not compatible with the 
app. Besides, all the good stereo stuff I have is connected one way or another 
through a Mac.

I use Amazon Music pretty much exclusively through the iOS app using 
VoiceOver. It is quite accessible with only a few querks. I found 
using the Windows PC interface to be clunky for me using Window-Eyes.
