Hi Ray,
For the most part, they are the wimp's way out <Smile>. But I must admit,
I
have never tried Accessible Radio, I tried Web IE and the RSS reader,
which
I believe is also a Podcast client, but nowhere near as flexible as Juice,
and that's the problem. I find accessibility in terms of these
"accessible"
programs, tends to go hand in hand with simplicity, and forgets the power
user. I would only use these programs if there were not equally good
ways,
either built into Windows, or other programs like Juice, which are far
better, didn't exist. Wimp's way out? No, certainly not, but too
simplistic for an old tech head like me.
All the best

I some times get the impression a few people regard Alistair King's
'accessable' programs as the wimpts way out. Well, I'd say for many users
he is, to a great extent, on the right track.
I can navigate Listen Again and the aweful BBC Player Ok, no prob, but I
must admit that, especially on a saturday night when I'm trying to escape
the obsessive disorder which is Radio WM's football adiction, I go to the
net to hear John Platt's network Gold, and I find Accessable Radio jus the
job here, as I can hopp between Radio's Stoke, Shropshire, Hereford and
Worcester until I can get my fix of Network Gold which, mercifully, mostly
plays stuff from before 1980. I also make quick trips to Radio Ulster and
Foyle, and a few more, so nipping around, without first having to log the
stations in Favorites is nice to be able to do.
What's more, since I've installed NOD32 and I'm trialing Outpost Firewall
too, the Accessable Radio program picks up on the various radio streams
more
quickly.
