I am not blind so cannot give you instructions for navigating
Explorer in VI tools.
In Explorer, open Tools > Folder Options. Move to the "View"
tab. There is an "Advanced settings" window containing
a list of options. Under "Files and Folders", ensure "Hide
extensions for known file types" is unchecked and choose
OK. Then you can work out if there are any WAV files in
" C:\Program Files (x86)\CDex\my music\no artist\".
If there is a WAV file, execute it in whatever way you normally
execute a file or program. A sighted user would double-click the
file. This will play it in the default program associated with WAV
files (probably Windows Media Player).
If you want to open this WAV file in Audacity, File > Import >
Audio. In "Select one or more audio files", TAB into the "Files
of type" combo box and arrow down to select "WAV, AIFF and
other uncompressed types". Then you can SHIFT - TAB back up
into the "Look in" combo box to select the directory the WAV file
is in. When you are in that directory, TAB into the window list
and open the file from the list of WAV files.
