You're the only one having trouble, or one of the very few. Just because
you can't get around what is simplicity itself to so many, don't decree
it inaccessible. It's one of the most accessible, versatile, and
economical file conversion, CD ripping and CD burning tools anywhere,
whether you can catch on to it or not.

Bruce, first, thanks for taking the time to write this instruction. But, may I say in all modesty, I could hardly have just intuited the above as a workaround for burning a CD from files on my hard drive. I lack the habits of mind that would enable me to think of anything beyond trying again and again to tab around the program's own interface and, figuring out that I just can't access the functions I know are there where you have a Windows Explorer-like tree view of your hard drive, then select a folder, select files from within it, and then somehow copy them into a list box that becomes the list of files to be burned.. you know what I mean.. I just give up. I doubt I'm the only one who would. Pride makes me say that.
I never would have thought of simply dodging around the program as you suggest. I hope you see that you've been of considerable help to someone who can't think outside the regular end user box of either being able to figure out a program's interface with Jaws or not being able to. Even now, I can't imagine how it occurred to you that you could accomplish the task the way you describe.
I intend to try this out this weekend, and will report if I'm successful, or ask more questions if I need to. Meantime, may I ask one thing more? I would like to be able to use the file conversion function of the program, and once, by fooling around with the jaws cursor and taking nearly an hour before I succeeded, and even then not knowing how I managed to get it together, I converted a couple of .mp3 files to .wma's just to save space on my modest-sized little flash memory player (A Sandisk Sansa M230). could I insert files into the interface the same way as above, and then use the conversion tools on what I'd imported into that box? I know how to use the menus and button commands, etc.; it's getting the files into the right place that has frustrated me, and it sounds as if this procedure could work for that purpose, too, as well as for burning. Am I right?.
Thanks very much. .maOne questionhavefold34rselet box into which you'rees in hibit ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bruce Toews" <DogRiver@xxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, April 01, 2006 8:30 AM Subject: Burning a CD Accessibly with Easy CD-Da Extractor
