Thanks David. I do this quite often. It's a workaround but I really wanted something more direct. I don't understand why the Jaws cursor doesn't see the currently playing list but the PC cursor will speak the highlighted item when you arrow through the list. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Bailes" <david_bailes@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi Bob, I've only got access to wmp 11, but something like this may work in wmp 10: 1. press alt + f to open the file menu 2. press p to open the propertes dialog 3. press ctrl + tab to move to the content page 4. you can then tab through title, artist, etc. David. orginal message: How does one read the information for what is now playing in Windows Media Player 10? I can move around the list and Jaws will read the now playing list but it doesn't say which selection is actually playing. I tried to find the list with the Jaws cursor but couldn't find it. I could only find the Library list and tree view. I was trying to find out what colors are used to indicate to sighted people what's playing, hoping to assign a custom color.
