I'm not being critical of Apple at all. I fully intend to purchase a Mac for
my next desktop computer because I personally believe the OS to be far superior
to Windows.

Is the problem with total deterministic use an accessibility issue or just an
issue with the application?
I wouldn't judge Apple too harshly based on how much effort they put into
making an application running on a competitors platform accessible. They do
this to sell more iPhones and not to help more people buy PC's. I know many
don't agree with me, but I wouldn't be surprised if Apple stops supporting
iTunes on the PC altogether. You don't need iTunes nearly as much as you used
to to use your iPhone. Furthermore, you could always just buy a Mac, and I
think people will be making their laptop/desktop choices more on how they
interact with their other devices than the other way around.

I have to agree with Simon on this; I find iTunes terribly inaccessible in

iTunes is doing to my iPhone 5. As a result, I end up with several instances
of contact individual records appearing on my iPhone and similar such
annoyances.
But then, of course, I am running an outdated version of JAWS (10.???) and
am using Windows Vista as my OS. I would hope that is the root cause of the
iTunes inaccessibility because I find Apple to be very responsive to the
special needs of the VIP community.

I would beg to disagree, as there are a number of things I haven't been
able to get poxy iTunes to do. the main one being getting it to transfer what I
want from my pc to my Iphone, with out it wanting to spend ages doing other
stuff that I don't want it to do as well. it has given me no end of
aggravation!

Hi Neil and Cheryl,
There is no way to get music or other content on the iPhone without
jailbreaking. Yes, you can put music into a Dropbox folder and the Dropbox app
will actually play music files or there are any number of apps which might do
so and which you can use to play music.
Personally I would advise your friend to deal with iTunes if she wants
to get the most out of her iPhone or other iDevice. I think there are still
people who have this perceived fear of iTunes and that it’s not very accessible
whereas in fact it is very accessible and just a matter of learning. I
sometimes wonder about all the hoops people jump through to do something which
would be much easier with iTunes.
Regards,
Sieghard

vlc does this and I think it also plays from dropbox directly but I
think you can only then play one song at a time rather than continuously and I
have also had some crashing problems but more with uploaded music than with
playing from dropbox directly.
btw vlc will also upload files from your computer by wifi but it is
these files I have had some problems with.

OK, it’s a slightly different question. I don’t think there is a way
to directly do this from drop box, but someone can correct me if there is. The
person who asked me does not want to use iTunes. So, she would be happy to have
an accessible app to copy these files from drop box to her iPhone if such an
animal exists.
Thanks for any help.
