Hi, I highly recommend Speak On and Screamer Radio, both of which still let you turn the volume up and down. I must admit the Webbie suite is very good though, I've even been known to use the web browser before now, though it isn't my first choice, but with the IE view.

Cheer
Dave

Hi Alasdair.


Nice work mate! I downloaded your program this evening and am currently listening to Ian Anderson on Radio Scotland, and yes, the quality does seem better. My only problem Alasdair is that I'm currently writing this letter whilst listening to the radio. I cannot turn the volume of the radio down to 30% as I normally do, so it's difficult to write whilst listening to music.


I'm informed that the next version of JAWS will allow us once again to listen to audio via one sound card and have JAWS on another, and I for one will be setting this up as soon as it's possible, so perhaps this problem will only be temporary. However, many list members don't have a second sound card so the volume issue may well have to be sorted.

Love the program Alasdair and thanks for all your support. I can assure you it's very much appreciated by all of us here at Access UK.

Very best wishes.

Andy.

I believe that the audio streams are a higher quality, but that's
nothing to do with me - the BBC have upgraded their Real audio
streams.

I've just had a great conversation with a user who called me up, and
based on that I've added some shortcut keys for getting around the
program. Control and F skips forward 30 seconds, Control and B skips
back 30 seconds, and Control and J jumps 5 minutes forward. So updated
again I'm afraid, but not critical: now 3.2.0:

Cheers,
Alasdair

Alasdair,
Despite my initial problem, I think that the inclusions of the two functions in a single program is an excellent idea, and I would not rush into abandoning it. And when the final release has
its own "Manual" everything should be quite clear.

It may be imagination, but I have felt that the sound quality may be somewhat better than with
the old Listen Again - and it is certainly more responsive.

Just hope that the bBC do not make even more changes to "break" your code!

Douglas: Alt and R for Listen Again radio programme listings, Alt and L
for the live radio stations.

There's a delay in loading the Listen Again radio programmes, and any live
radio playing will keep playing while the programmes are loading - that
might be the source of the confusion?

I will probably split out the two functions again for release if it
causes confusion.
