It is impossible to cover in one email all the multiple aspects so I will assume you want in the first place just to see your music library and be able to navigate the various parts of iTunes. I think is that for a smooth screen reading experience you need to have column browser set as your view. Unfortunately Apple have in their wisdom made switching to column browser obscurely difficult. Basically if you tab round i’tunes you will find a sidebar view table under which you can set the view for iTunes. I think the default is album, there will be another called artist, but the view setting you need is for songs. Once you have songs set as your view you will find that there are extra options available in the view menu. Now you can enable column browser and also specify which columns you want to show. Personally I do not bother with Genre. Now your library will be arrange in easy columns of artist, albums and songs. As you cursor down artists the albums available will be shown, and once an album is highlighted the songs available will be shown. You can tab and shift tab to each column providing actually a very good music playing experience. In fact for iTunes you are probably better off with NVDA in the actual music library as NVDA supports fast forward and rewind whilst Jaws still, the last time I checked, still announces not in a table. This might get you started. Once in column view you can press control F to bring up the Find menu. This is a convenient shortcut to navigate to the part of iTunes area which allows access as tabbing simply from the search area will allow you to open up for example the Apple Music Sore. Remember that that if you do not want to use Apple Music you have also to disable Show Apple Music Features in preferences. You need to , the last time I checked, to do this to enable the buying of individual songs and albums. David Griffith
