Just a correction about the difference between Klango and SpeakOn:
Klango is tied to a particular web server which provides the various
services.
SpeakOn will act as a player on the local media but links to various
services according to requirements:
SpeakOn server for podcasts directories.
Last.FM - for personalized and other jukebox type music.
TNAUK for eText and audio publications.
RadioTime directory in Texas for Radio
SeeingEar library for eText books.
Unlike Klango, you don't have to log in to a SpeakOn server; I have no idea
(and does not want to know) anybodys identity and when and if they use
SpeakOn.
You have however to obtain the login information and enter them in SpeakOn
for the various services as follows:
RadioTime, Last.FM and SeeingEar library for free.
TNAUK eText and audio publications - you need a subscription - £40 for 80
eText publications (a bit more for audio publications) and you can have as
many newspapers and magazines as you wish - I hope you don't mind the plug,
I am a TNAUK trustee as well, a great organization for our community that
needs support.
Regards
Isaac

Hi,
Foobar2000 is a media player just like winamp that can play various audio
file types. It's a thousand times better than winamp, both in
customisability and sound quality.
Speakon is like a klango player, which is a talking media player (self
voicing) with support for internet radio podcasting etc.
I don't use a product like Klango or SpeakOn, I think there's no point as I
have other apps to do what these products can do.
Yes, last.fm is a music service in which users scrobble the data of tracks
they play, and the service has associations with popular record labels.
I hope this helps,
Orhan.

Hi Everyone.
Excuse me for my ignorance here, but what exactly are foobar2000 and
speakon? I was under the impression that last.fm was a community radio
sight, not a music service so how does one access music through it.
All the best, Ibrahim
