Hi Chi, The BlindTunes scripts do offer a few nice features, but they aren't really required as iTunes is very accessible with Jaws. Once you get the hang of it it's not that hard, remember your F6 key and the tab key to jump around from the Source List to other areas like your music library, store area etc. I also recommend connecting the devices by cable as WiFi sync can be a bit flaky at time and it's definitely a lot slower if you sync a lot of music.
Lastly, I highly recommend you listen to Jonathan's FS Casts from I think January and February where he put together a great 2-part iTunes tutorial. You can find these on the Freedom Scientific website or subscribe to FS Casts in any Podcast client, if you don't have one yet and are looking for one I recommend Downcast which is very accessible and I think is preferred not only by most people on the list but also gets awesome reviews from sighted users. Give that a try and if you need more help feel free to contact me directly.

When I had my android phone, I was able to simply copy music from my computer to the device and I was done. Now I have to go through iTunes apparently, and so far it's a nightmare. I've installed blind tunes, hoping that would make things easier, and I've read through all the guides multiple times. Frankly, the guides for blind tunes suck, and assume a level of understanding of the way it works that the new user simply does not possess. I've imported several folders of music into iTunes, and somehow was able to sync the music to my iPhone, but I'm frankly not sure how I did it, it only copied the music over after over an hour of trial and error, and I cannot replicate what I did. It seems it would be an easy thing to select an album, or create a playlist and copy it over, especially with scripts built specifically for this, but I must be missing the boat entirely somewhere. Are any of you using blind tunes out there, or are you able to use iTunes without the scripts for jaws? If so, any tips would be greatly appreciated, or any links to where I can get more info. I do not mind doing research, and I'm very computer literate, but this one has been a frustrating experience so far. I've got the latest version of iTunes running on a PC and jaws 13. Any help much appreciated. Thanks, Che -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
