First of all, you need to install it with the classic skin only no modern skin
support. Insert+h in winamp will give you a lot of good commands for the window
you are in. Winamp has one main menu with menus inside of it. You move in and
out of sub-windows like the library by using controll+tab. You have to close
winamp from the main window I think. Insert+h and insert+f1 really do give you
alot of information for jaws. I find winamp to be extremely accesible.

Subject: Need instructions for Winamp 5.08
I just downloaded winamp 5.08 from the winamp4theblind site. And, as I
remembered from an earlier attempt to add Winamp to my software arsenal, I
can't for the life of me figure out how to operate it except to play an .mp3
file and use the z, c and x keys for play, pause and stop. But I want to
explore the menus to get an overview of its functions and adjustments, and
every time I try to do that I wind up in trouble. Once I somehow changed
the interface so that it enlarged (I could see this happen) and then kept
saying I was in the Library, and I couldn't understand the few controls that
spoke when I tabbed around, and I couldn't exit the area, nor exit the
program, as Alt F4 didn't do anything. Another time, I got stuck in that
library thing again, but Alt F4 exited for me.
Anyway, I even managed to blunder my way into the help file, but I couldn't
navigate this worth a damn, either, no matter how I tried to use what
sounded like a tree or book structure, use F6 to switch panes, or anything.
It was a Jaws nightmare.
I don't recall seeing a link for just some instructions for screen reader
users on that winamp4the blind site, don't know why. Can anyone point me to
some way I could read up on how to master this program, which for some
reason is so popular among blind users?
thanks,
daniel
