One thing to bear in mind about filenames in iTunes. The Windows names are truncated when you look at them in Windows Explorer. This has held true since at least 2010. Sometimes that's a factor. Otherwise see my earlier message of a few minutes ago and thanks for this one.

One thing that is slightly improved is when you go to the Apps area in iTunes. Before once you tabbed into the app grid view you could not tab forward to where Jaws would read the What’s New section or to the Update All button. Instead you had to go to the Search field with Control+F and then use Shift+Tab to go backwards until you came to the update all button. Now in 12.4.1 Jaws again reads the What’s New and you can tab normally. However, Jaws still does not read the names of the apps in the grid view as you arrow around, you basically have to tab once past the grid view, then Jaws says what app it has focus on, you can then Shift+Tab, move the cursor right or left, then tab again to hear the name of that app and read the What’s New. I don’t usually use iTunes to download or listen to Podcasts since I find using a Podcast client like the native Podcast app or Downcast is such a good experience. However, I just opened the Podcasts area and I guess at some point I had added the Today in iOS Podcast and Cool blind Tech and I was able to focus on one of these, then tab until I got a listing of episodes and I was able to arrow up and down in that list and so on. Of course if you set it up so new episodes download to your computer you will have a “Podcasts” folder in your iTunes Media folder with subfolders for the various Podcasts and in each of them you will find all the episodes.

I've been fiddling around with it in the hope of understanding how to do what I want to do and I'm setting up another podcatcher because I've had no success at all. I have tried both Window-Eyes and NVDA. ----- Original Message ----- From: Russ Kiehne To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, June 04, 2016 9:41 AM Subject: Re: Latest iTunes Did you know about the following?

Apple Releases iTunes 12.4.1 with Bug Fixes for VoiceOver Users From: Gary Petraccaro Sent: Friday, June 03, 2016 10:36 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Latest iTunes I've been downloading podcasts with iTunes since the last version of 11 and versions up to the latest update. As far as I can tell, Apple has made it impossible now to download podcasts without considerably more discomfort. I cannot find a way to collapse and expand particular podcasts for convenience of getting from show to show and now the dates of the shows are harder to find. Where I used to be able to get the latest several numbers of the Blind Bargains shows for a couple of weeks and dump them on a card for playing on a stream, they no longer show up show by show. If there's a way to rearrange this, I'll be happy to hear it. Good luck. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
