Hi, I'm on Win 7. I'll have to try that Wikipedia page out. It bugs me that I once had a lead on a product that was supposed to be accessible for more than just media, but I didn't pay attention at the time as I didn't have an iDevice.--Joe

I didn't have an iPhone at the time, so I didn't care about that particular feature. You don't say what OS or screen reader you're using, so I'll assume you're talking about Windows. Winamp and FooBar are both accessible and have iPod support either built in or as a plug in. A page with links to more information is at http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/29716/heres-five-alternatives-to-itunes-10-fo r-easily-managing-your-ipod/ Media Monkey and Songbird also claim to support the iPod, and I had some success with them with respect to accessibility, although at the time, I wouldn't call either of them accessible. Songbird has been changing rapidly, so it might be worth taking a look at again. A more comprehensive list of iTunes alternatives, some of which may be accessible, can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_iPod_managers On Linux, I see that RhythmBox, Banshee, Clementine and Amarok all have some level of iPod support, and I know RhythmBox is accessible. I haven't heard any of these alternatives discussed on list yet though, so if you give any of them a try, I'd be curious to know how you get a long. I suppose I may try RhythmBox at some point, but I'm pretty much trying to rely on the cloud for now. Another option is to use the cloud. I use Ubuntu One for example, which has a Ubuntu, Windows, IOS and Android client. I don't think there's a Mac client though, at least not yet.
