Hi Moe, I'm forwarding you the message I sent to the list yesterday, and these instructions work for me using Window-Eyes 9.2, on Windows 10 64-bit, and using the current version of Itunes.

I hope this helps, Rod Here are some guidelines for navigating the Itunes Music tab, arrived at by pressing Control-1. Press Control-F which brings you to the search box at the top of the Itunes window. Press F6 to bring focus to your music collection. If you then press Shift-tab, a button is focused, having one of the following names: Songs, Albums, Artists, Composers, or Genres The button label indicates how your music collection is currently displayed. The important thing to remember is that pressing Tab always allows you to navigate among the controls in the Itunes window; in some circumstances, F6 can also allow you to jump quickly from one area to another, allowing you to avoid pressing Tab repeatedly. Also, as you navigate, it is important to listen both to the type of control focused as well as any additional information provided, such as the name of the button; all of this information allows you to determine your current options. You change the way your music collection is displayed by focusing the button mentioned above, pressing spacebar or Enter, and then pressing Tab once to focus the list of sort options. Use the up and down arrow keys to select the desired sort option, and then press Enter to activate it. At this point, the menu will close, and focus will return to the button which had been previously focused. You can then press tab to focus the various controls offered by the new display of your music collection. I have found that sorting by Artist or Genre are the most helpful; the reason for this is that they offer the best view of your music collection. For example, if you sort by Artist, and press Tab in order to focus the treeview, this will display all the artists in your music collection; using the up and down arrow keys, you can move through the list of artists; once you choose an artist, if you then press F6 (or press tab repeatedly), you will then arrive at a listview containing all the tracks by that artist, and, by default, the tracks are sorted by the album they belong to, and, of course, the tracks are sorted by their order within the album; you will hear all of this information as you move through the list using the up and down arrow keys. Sorting by Genre is equally helpful; in this case, the treeview will contain the music genres to which the tracks in your collection belong, and the listview contains all the tracks in that genre, sorted by artist, then by album, and, lastly, by track order within the album. An additional point to note is that when the sort button is pressed and the pop-up menu appears, and you press Tab once in order to focus the list of sort options, if you continue to press tab, you can navigate through additional controls, allowing you to further sort the items in the treeview and listview, depending on the primary sort option you have chosen; note, however, that, after adjusting these additional controls, you can only close the menu by returning to the sort listbox and pressing Enter; pressing Escape allows you to close the menu cancelling any changes you have made. -----Original Message----- From: David Crowell [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: November 19, 2015 1:05 AM To: 'Rod Hutton' <[email protected]> Subject: RE: iTunes Hi Rod, Thank you so much, I will look forward to receiving them from you. Take your time and get them to me when it is feasible for you.

The main problem I am having with iTunes is seeing the list of music I have saved in iTunes. Before I could choose music and then tab to the list of music and then arrow up and down through the list and press enter on the music I wanted. For example if I choose a CD I have ripped or purchased from itunes then I would press enter and a list of the tracks would come up and I could arrow through what I wanted to play. But since the version 12 of iTunes and WE9.2 I can no longer do this. When I get to the list of music all I hear is list view. I have not ripped any more CD's because I want to figure out how to read the list of CD's first. Thanks so much for being willing to give me a hand and I promise not to become a pest.

I've gotten very comfortable with it over the past month or so and I haven't found anything I can't do with it. I haven't used it to rip CDs, but I'm fairly sure it can be done using the current version of Window-Eyes. I thought about doing a podcast to introduce people to its functions and such, but I decided against it for now, preferring to see what issues people are having with it, and then just trying to help on a one on one basis. Therefore, if you want to write to me off-list or simply ask your question on the list, I'll certainly try and help.

Ever since I went to windows 8.1 and Window Eyes 9.2 It is impossible for me to use iTunes on my computer. I have iTunes 12.8 or the latest version of iTunes. If someone can direct me to an app I may need to get and how to find it or give me some directions on how to use iTunes with window eyes, or if I need to go back to an older version of iTunes it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in Advance.
