Hi Richard,

Yes, I fully support that, who have you submitted it to?  Perhaps we could 
complain on mass to the people that should be aware of this inequality.

Strangely enough, I may just have their contact details and names here!

  I've just submitted a complaint about the inaccessibility of this, and I 
suggest that others do the same.  Wonder if "Out of Touch" would be interested?

  I tried to install the I player and it seemed to slow down my entire system.  
I couldn't do anything quickly.  I am using a voip phone which may have been a 
contributing factor, I really don't know.  I unplugged the phone and everything 
speeded up.  I only use that phone.  So, for me, that was not a satisfactory 
solution.  I had to uninstall it, and just listen to Radio 2, and BBC world 
service using shortcuts.  It was to bad too.  Have any of you experienced the 
same problem?

    Ian,

    I wholly agree, not only should simple commands as that be simple and 
constant, but also the BBC have a duty to ensure that all aspects of I player 
are accessible. Who do they think they are to launch a technology service for 
the audience facing public without first ensuring that all of it is accessible, 
audio description is incorporated and so on?

    I think we should start a campaign to petition the board of trustees, it is 
not acceptable in this day and age.

      We shouldn't need to get a sighted person to do something as basic as 
adjust the volume This is ridiculous.

        I had a similar experience and solved the problem by getting a sighted 
person to adjust the volume control on the IPlayer website.
        Hope this might help.

          I thought i had cracked it and the sound was much better than the old 
Real player system. However, today I tried to listen to The Jungle Book and 
yesterday's Archers. It appeared to be playing but not a sound could I hear. I 
can't think of anything I have done. Am I alone?
