Ray,

When you use a keystroke like alt-3 to jump to the list of player links, you
have to press Enter after it in order for it to action if you're using
Internet Exploder. You'll need to use your screen reader's function to pass
through keystrokes in order for them to work. But they do work, although I'm
not impressed with the design of the player interface - personally I
preferred it in its earlier format.

Paul.

I use the BBC Radio Player without any real hassel.  I do wonder though what
is going on regarding the so-called screen reader help message, which
appears to be an invisible frame.  It lists commands alt-1 through alt-6 or
greater, but these do not appear to do anything, not for me at least.  I've
used the Window-Eyes by-pass key before the commands and even tried
unloading Window-Eyes, but all to no effect.  Anyone else tried using these
commands?

Finally, listening to In Touch tonight I noticed a good deal of compression
on the recording.  This was present in the continuity announcement too.
Appears to be more prevelant on other programs as well.  Anyone else
noticed?
