Hi all and thanks for all the advice guys.
There is something quite wrong here with JAWS and the BBC's Listen Again
service. Every time I click on the link to listen again, I hear a definite
click from my speakers and nothing happens. Today, I got to the link, then
turned JAWS off and pressed enter on the link and it worked! However,
rather than be taken to the particular file I wanted to listen to, I arrived
at the Radio Player Page. If I have got to turn JAWS off, every time I wish
to listen again to a broadcast, then I'd not bother doing it this way. I
have, in my mind, two other options. One of these is to use the BBC's Radio
Player and a list member has kindly provided me with the link to this. I
attempted this this morning but ended up on a page with blank tables and I
could not understand how to use it. My other option and this is my
favourite at the moment, is to save the url's to the particular shows that
I'd listen again to and place these on a web-page on my computer. I am
currently building such a web-page and in my view, it's much easier. For
example, if I wanted to listen live to Radio 2, all I'd need to do is bring
up my web-page with a single key-stroke and tab down to a link titled Listen
to Radio 2. In total, I could listen to radio 2 with less than four
key-strokes. Alternatively, I could listen again, for example, to Bob
Harris's show with another tab or two. I'm really quite sick running around
in circles on web-pages, listening to my speakers clicking and getting
nothing for my efforts. I'm happy to try again to understand the BBC's
Radio Player but this far, there has been little discussion on this list as
how to set everything up. It's just so complicated. The web-page which I
am building, and incidentally, I can send it to anyone who would like to try
it out, has very few links. For instance I have links to listen live to BBC
Radio 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. I have Listen Again links to Bob Harris's show,
Simon Maeoy's show and have included further links to listen to Main Menu,
and tTheBlind Col Tec page. I can of course add to these urls later when I
come across a good show. I can also add my TV listings and include TV if I
wanted. Perhaps the BBC's Radio Player is a good option, but I'd be limited
to BBC broadcasts, whereas my web-page is actually all I want it to be. I'd
be interested to hear from other list members who may be trying out similar
methods of organising schedules of programs in this way, or others who are
convinced that the Radio Player is the best method. Sorry for going on so
long folks. Best wishes. Andy

Hi all.
Can someone please check out the BBc's Radio 2 page at:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/shows/albumchart/ and click on the link
titled "Listen Again." The link is simply making a click sound when I
press enter on it. I've been trying this link all week and now feel that
I have a problem at my end with JAWS.
Thanks.
Best wishes.
Andy
