OK after a lot of fussing about on the windows version of iTunes I have managed to pick up enough hints to return the program to a usable interface similar to previous versions.

I reproduce my steps to do this in case anybody else finds this helpful.

Interestingly I found this easier to achieve   with NVDA rather than Jaws.
I have seen it claimed that you need play list enabled for column browser but that is incorrect. I have column browser working fine with normal music

view of my main library.

These are the instructions as far as I recall them to return to column browser and a usable interface using the normal music view.

1. Locate the album button in the default iTunes view and press space on that.
2. You will be in a sort dialogue which take a little getting used to.
\You will be on an initial sort list. Press enter on Artist to check that. Now tab over the text which says then and select Title from the next sort sequence. Pressing enter will check that also. Now tab to the list enter and press enter on that and finally select song from that list.
You may need
then to return to the menu bar and consult the view menu to make sure your column browser settings are as you would expect. Having done that I have now returned to my traditional iTunes 11 style interface.


In Interestingly I had none of this hassle on my Mac as the upgrade there remembered my prefernce for colun browser.

HI Carol
I investigated this a couple of months ago.
Although the site does, at first, seem quite accessible it really wasn't at all usable. I didn't manage to find a way of making some of the selections needed to get the best deals.
I use Jaws and tried in IE and Firefox.
You do need to have accounts with the individual stores that you want to use in mysupermarket.
I also tried the iPhone app and that was not at all accessible.
Even if this site were accessible I am not sure it would save me any money. Since you can only buy from one store at a time, It is not possible to combine items from various stores into one shop in order to get all the best deals.
A shopping site I do find useful is
http://www.hotukdeals.com/

    Hi all,
    I've just started to look at MYSUPERMARKET.CO.UK and wonder if
    anyone who uses it can explain how things work?  (I don't want to
    sign up to the above site until I get a feel of how they operate!)
    First, the site looks OK.  Can anyone confirm it's good and fully
    accessible for us to use?
    Do I need to open accounts with each supermarket I want to use,
    including MYSUPERMARKET.CO.UK?  Then, which shop do I use for my
    shopping?  Do I get the best overall deal (from whichever shop),
    or does this way of shopping on mysupermarket.co.uk enable me to
    choose at which shops I get which items?
    Thanks for any help on this.
    Carol P
