Hi Jonathan.

Thanks for that.  If that's all it does, then it is accessible then.  I was 
told it wasn't, but had managed to get the Youtube bit working by pressing the 
unlabelled (but only) button on flash.

Jill.

  I wasn't aware of this application before, but I've


  It seems to have a lot of problems you can read from the comments application 
support page here: http://snurl.com/u932k


  I've just had a look round a few discussions, and it appears that all it does 
is find a matching stream on Youtube, but hide the video part and just play the 
audio.


  You might find it easier to just use youtube directly, or if music is your 
thing, have you tried last.fm?
  Also, I don't know how accessibly spotify is, but if you can get a free 
invite from a friend, then it's free.

    Hiya.

    This is more for those who understand programming, but I'm wondering why 
the free music player on facebook isn't as accessible as I'd like.  Using Vista 
HP and Jaws 10, I can get as far as searching for songs, and can even view the 
list, but when I click on links (which is what it says to do to hear them 
play), nothing happens even with mouse buttons etc.  If I press on the flash 
player buttons, I can access it on youtube, but I end up listening to 2 
versions, 1 slightly behind the other and it takes me a while to stop 1 of the 
versions.  I know the music player is developed outside of facebook, and I knew 
it didn't work for screen readers, but was surprised I could get so far.  Seems 
weird that I can see links but they don't appear to work.Any feedback is 
appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Jill.
