Emusic and accessibility of the download manager

Hello folks,

I’ve been thinking about this for awhile since I sent E-mail to emusic, a site that features independant artists, about their download manager. It is designed to download the albums you buy either via the new method pay as you go, or via the subscription model. When I told them I wanted to move my downloads folder to one of my other drives, they politely gave me instructions on how to do this which was great.

When I explained that the program did not speak at all with speech software, they said they appreciated the feedback, but it wasn’t in the roadmap right now to get it accessible.

I told them that I would be willing to help make it accessible by running beta versions when needed, and I also told them that I was sure that people who were disabled would be interested in learning that their site was accessible but the program was not. By making the program accessible, they would be opening their music to a lot of people including myself, who enjoy something other than today’s music.

I think people need to E-mail emusic and let them know of the issue of the program and that it does not speak. You can E-mail them at support at emusic.com, where you put the at sign in the current place, or through your account.

I can’t do this alone, and you can get a 14 day free trial or buy as you want called allacart.

Lets see if we can make their program accessible together.
