I'd have to agree with Steve on this one!
I too have installed iPodder and got it up and running, reasonably quickly,
using JFW 5.1. Sometimes we are a little quick off the mark to declare
something inaccessible.
Although having said that,choice is always a good thing, so well done to the
chap designing the other one!

| Hi Douglas,
|
| I am pretty new to podcasting, and I installed Ipodder and got it up and
| running in five minutes. That's good enough for me. I don't always
believe
| it is necessary to have an "accessible" version. What makes it accessible
| anyway? I feel that Ipodder is equally accessible, if you know your
screen
| reader. It is also free. It is good to have choice, but I think this
word
| Accessible is bandied about too much. It makes it sound like the other
| programs are not accessible, and I don't like that. But that's just my
| opinion of course.
|
| All the best

| Steve,
| If by Accessible Ipodder you mean the free Accessible Podcaster produced
at
| the
| University of Manchester, it is in an early stage of development and has
| been made
| available for those interested to try out. (If you are talking about
| something else, I do
| apologise - please ignore what follows!)
|
| The object has been to keep it simple but still capable of doing the basic
| things. I
| suggested to the developer that an independent volume control would be
| helpful if a
| screen reader user wanted to listen to the start of an item before saving
| it, and it was
| implemented within about 24 hours. I intend next week to ask if the Save
| dialogue can
| be made more accessible in the next version, and I am sure any other
| suggestions
| would be welcomed.
| Ipodder 2.0 is a much more powerful program, but those of us new to the
| world of
| Podcasts may prefer to start with something simpler.
|
