add accessibility features 4 the visually impaired

I am using your site as an example as part of a Degree Level comparison (comparing with Amazon.mp3 and Napster - and although yours is a fairly 'niche' (albeit large) market, it is technically and aesthetically a website far superior to either. What it does appear to fail on is accessibility (which is a requirement by British law under the Disability Discrimination Act). Perhaps you could include some easily visible (or audio) aids for the visually impaired user? Additionally, your use of alternative text for images might be improved - especially for the flash. Incidentally, out of the three sites, yours was the only one that dynamically resizes according to the display resolution. I like your site!
