[access-uk] Re: Announcement - New SpeakOn features release 30 January 2009

Hi Chris,

Foobar2000 has a very accessible Last.fm component available for download. Use 
it all the time here.

Ar, but I quite like the Last.FM player that Speakon provides. I do not know 
of any other accessible Last.FM player apart from Speakon. To each their own 
though of course.

> Hello All,

> A new features release of SpeakOn 2.1, 30 January 2009 is now available.

> In this version, the user interface has been simplified and improved.  New
> features have been added for playing your music.  You can now quickly and
> easily play folders, combine a number of folders and individual files for
> immediate play in your own playlists which can be easily edited.  The 
> media
> library is now expandable and podcast support has been improved.

> For those who are new to SpeakOn, it is a self-voicing software 
> environment
> for finding, retrieving and playing audio and text media.  All media local
> to your computer or remote on the internet is presented in the same simple
> tree-like structure.  You can navigate to the media you want, select it 
> and
> it is automatically downloaded or streamed and played in the same SpeakOn
> player which handles both audio and text.  Common audio formats are
> supported including MP3, WMA and Real.  You can either operate SpeakOn 
> using
> a standard keyboard or an external low cost numerical keypad using one 
> hand
> from the comfort of your armchair.  SpeakOn has a low footprint (the
> installer is only 3.7 Mb) making it ideal for use with Netbooks.

> SpeakOn is available free from:
> www.a-technic.net/speakon.htm

> This page contains information about SpeakOn, links to the download page,
> manual and mailing list.

> In the simplified user interface both Player and Library controls have 
> been
> combined in one task.  User interaction involves mainly operating these 
> two
> controls with a minimum number of keys, tabbing between these control as
> necessary.  All operations are also available from the menu - useful for
> newbies.  The function keys are used to adjust audio and speech as well as
> getting context sensitive (new) media information and help.

> For an overview and comparison between Windows and the SpeakOn user
> interface see:
