J-Tunes Software

Access to iTunes with JAWS for Windows

ITunes from Apple is software which offers music lovers who either own or do not own one of the iPod products a vast variety of features and facilities
which turn the computer into an incredible music management system.

However unfortunately iTunes is probably one of the most inaccessible pieces of software from a visually impaired persons perspective with much of the screen
activity being unrecognisable by even the most advanced Screen Readers.

J-Tunes is an interface to iTunes which using JAWS For Windows brings this amazing piece of software to life for visually impaired computer users. Our latest
release of j-Tunes, version 3.2, allows people to use the very latest releases of both iTunes and JAWS seamlessly.

Through the use of easy to remember keystrokes using the combination of the iTunes software with J-Tunes you can:

• Import individual music tracks, complete CD's, or Audio Books into the ITunes Library.

• Have CD album names and track titles automatically identified and announced.

• Easily transfer music or audio books to an iPod, such as the iPod Shuffle or Nano. JAWS will automatically announce when the transfer process begins and
  ends. Important information about an iPod is presented using the JAWS Virtual Viewer, such as the amount of space remaining and serial number.

• Activate iPod specific facilities which have previously been inaccessible through an easy to use list.

• Organise music into "playlists" enabling sequences of tracks to be played from the computer or IPod. If you do not like the order in which the tracks
  are arranged in the "Playlist", you can change them.

• Have tracks played randomly from the computer. The playback can be paused or re-started, with the adjustable music volume control being independent of
  the JAWS speech system. You can skim forward or backward through the tracks and hear the audio playing, much like you can with a CD player!

• Impress your friends by organising music mixes in a variety of ways and play them at parties or other family type get togethers.

• Listen to and browse through radio stations on the Internet.

• Access other facilities within the ITunes software through easy to remember keystrokes and sequences.

• Purchase individual music tracks or entire albums easily from the iTunes Music Store.

• Subscribe to and manage Podcasts, either by subscribing to them through the iTunes Music Store or manually. Individual episodes can be downloaded.

• Take advantage of the Help System which groups together keystrokes according to tasks.

• Benefit from documentation to accompany J-Tunes which has been written in an easy-to-understand manner.
