I personally do not care for the ITunes that much. Although I have also not really tried that hard. I have read things about consumer protection that concern me. I have been using Media Monkey for my media database program. www.mediamonkey.com This program is pretty great, powerful and versatile, but it does not use keyboard shortcuts as well as I would like. It is free, or you can purchase an inexpensive Gold version for lifetime of upgrades. After adjustments, I have been able to use it pretty well with JAWS, though I could use some tips from more powerful JAWS users. I have been using Windows Media Player for ripping music to my library. However, since getting a Windows 7 machine, I find I am not yet comfortable with how to navigate in the newer version 12 of Windows Media Player. so I have been looking for other CD extractor programs, ones that have very good metadata sources to find as much detail as possible. The 2 that I am running now on a trial basis are listed below. they both seem to work pretty well with JAWS.

Thanks. Rik James

Aside from syncing my iPod to my books and music libraries, I now use iTunes for ripping all my CDs. It does a much better job of organizing the tracks and their titles into sensible folders, and allows easy editing of the album information prior to ripping. I could never get that level of control with Windows Media Prayer. And iTunes with the BlindTunes scripts is much more accessible than WMP. I may even look into using iTunes to burn CDs some day, but for now use Nero Express OEM or Express Burn from NCH. Both of these are very accessible to JAWS.
