Hi all, I'm forwarding this message from Isaac Porat in the UK about the newest
release of SpeakOn which is a player he has developed with many applications
such as last.fm, radio time and listening to podcasts.

Hello All,
A new features release of SpeakOn 2.0 is now available. The main highlight of
this release is the new 'Radio Time' application which supports the vast and
powerful
Radio Time directory service. With this new SpeakOn application you can browse,
search, play and preset from a choice of over 100000 stations and shows all over
the world. A big thank you to Radio Time of Dallas, Texas,
www.radiotime.com
who made this possible by allowing SpeakOn to connect to their service free of
charge.
In this version, media support has been arranged in four applications: Media
Centre,
Radio Time, Last FM and VI Services. The first three applications handle
mainstream
media and the last one supports media provided by visually impaired community
services.
For those who are new to SpeakOn, it is a self voicing software environment for
finding,
retrieving and playing text and audio media. All media local to your computer or
remote on the internet is presented in the same simple tree-like structure. You
can navigate to the media you want, select it and it is automatically downloaded
or streamed and played in the same SpeakOn player which handles both audio and
text.
All common audio formats are supported including MP3, WMA and Real.
SpeakOn is available free from:

and mailing list. The 'What's new' page is at:

Instructions for upgrading from an older version are at:
