Interesting! Are the Jaws scripts better then the scripts for windoweyes? I can't say cause I've never used window eyes. Would like to try it! Can't get it cause it's not supported for me! I'd try it if somebody else had it on their computer. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Skarstad" <toonhead@xxxxxxxxxx>

Hi.  Most likely but I'm no scripter so I can't say for sure.  I'll
tell ya though, the Window-eyes scripts are really giving the
fuctionality of the JAWS scripts a run for their money.  Another cool
feature that isn't in the JAWS scripts is the ability to set radio
station presets on the number row.  With Winamp opened, you can hit a
keystroke and select from a number of bookmarked streams and set a
preset.  So for example, if you find yourself listening to AM
1710Antioch OTR, or TBRN or ACBRI or any other internet station, all
you have to do to start listening is hit the number  that corresponds
to that preset. You can have up to 20 presets.
It's awesome.

                                Hi.  For Window-eyes users, this latest
script update should be
of some interest.  It has a couple
of cool new features  I
wanna mention here on the list since I think they should be of interest.

Firstly, when the Winamp scripts for Window-eyes are installed, one of the
things you're asked is if you'd like to add all the ACB Radio streams to
your bookmarks.  If you answer yes, you get all the existing ACB Radio
streams, both broadband and dialup versions added to your bookmarks.
You can turn this off in the script preferences, control plus shift plus p.
In this latest script update, a button has been added to the dialogue in the preferences, and what it'll do is search for any new streams that have been 
changed or added since the last script update.  What with ACBRI moving to
being licensed through Loud City come January, this will be handy in case
any bookmark addresses are changed.  So if you haven't gotten all the ACB
Radio bookmarks added to your list, or if you'd like to see if there are any 
new ones, you can press this button and it'll search for any new ones.
Secondly, and this one is possibly my new favorite one, you can now jump to a specific song in a playlist, if you know the position in the list. Let's 
say that someone has requested a song while you're broadcasting, and you
have the song in your list but it's way way way down there.  What you can
now do is press control plus shift plus j and then a dialogue comes up. It will say, playlist position. If you have a 65 song playlist and you're near 
the top, you no longer need to locate the song manually.  The song you've
got a request for is number 55.  So simply move down to number 55 in the
list and then when you're there, press your tab key and you'll land on a
jump button. Press your space bar on that, and you'll be brought to number 
55 where the song of interest is.
It won't actually start playing the song, but it'll just move your focus in 
the list to that song.  This is a feature I know I'll definitely be using.
Congrats to Jeff Bishop for coming up with this one.

Give these new features a try.

Chris
