Hi Tony,
I'm using version 11, the latest. I haven't gone into all of its features
much, so i can't really comment accessibilitywise as between version 10 and
version 11. Version 9 may be a little 'old' by now. The reason I upgraded
was due to the 'nag screen'. Then, when i did a system Restore for some
reason shortly afterwards, I had other file problems (which may or may not
have had to do with WMP. Then restored version 11, and whatever else, and
the problems went away.) Version 10 may be a little more straightforward in
CD burning. However, I have got used to using the tab key in the 'play
area', to move from one control to another, whether that be there or in any
of the other areas such as the library, graphics equalizer, etc. There is
now a JAWS tutorial on Windows media player 11. So, if you're using
thversion 11 - the latest - I could pass the url on to you.

Hi Flor Again!
Thanks for all that interesting info!
Could you let me know what version of WMP you use then and how do you find
it accessibility wise compared to other versions of WMP, say 9 or 10 for
example?
Tony.
