Note that iTunes for Windows will probably be discontinued at some point in time in favor of other products such as apple music and apple tv. For Mac, iTunes has been discontinued already in 2019.
Apple provides so far only maintenance updates to iTunes for Windows.

The Windows version is expected to stay alive for some more time.

This particular issue occurs in other screen readers like Jaws as well, so it needs to be fixed by Apple. However, I don't expect further accessibility updates to iTunes unless screen reader users try to push it at Apple.

Given this article and that alternatives from Apple for iTunes are already published in the Windows store, I am closing as abandoned.

If you want to hear your Apple podcasts on your Windows PC, there is also a new alternative from Apple:

For audiobooks there is no solution yet, but it is a matter of short time until it will come. If you have audiobooks on iTunes and want to export them, there are plenty of converters that can convert them to mp3.
