Accessible app for Spotify for Mac

By Matthew Whitaker, 21 December, 2022

Hello all, hope all is well.
Any accessible app for Spotify that works on Mac? I've tried the official one, but I found it a bit difficult last time I tried, which was last year or so.

Thank you

official Spotify app isn't that bad...

I use the official Spotify app on the Mac quite a bit and find it usable on the whole.

Cmd+L to go to the search bar, and from there navigate by heading tends to work quite well until I've found what I'm after. Then navigate by table. Once in the right table use arrow keys without VO. Sometimes it will read out the wrong row when going up the table but I think that's more a Mac thing.

Last time I looked the VO drag and drop method didn't work for playlists, but it it can be done easily enough with the mouse move/mouse down technique.

Play/pause with space. If I want to find my playlists I use VO+F, search for Home, then go down from there. I usually play to my Sonis so VO+F, then Connect, maybe VO+G a couple of times until Connect to a Device, then it's fine from there.

If I go off-piste, then I can get stuck in a load of unlabelled images, and doing uncommon things like trying to get to my account settings is a pain. But I've yet to find something I couldn't manage.

I could probably speed up some of the above with Windows Spots if I just spent the time to get to grips with them.

Over the course of the year, a number of things got worse, but then were fixed. (E.g. Connect to a Device became "Button" for a while, and some navigation got a bit dodgy) but right now it's perfectly usable for my needs.

It definitely could be better, though. If someone else does have an alternative I'd love to hear about it.

nice
