I just downloaded winamp 5.08 from the winamp4theblind site.  And, as I 
remembered from an earlier attempt to add Winamp to my software arsenal, I 
can't for the life of me figure out how to operate it except to play an .mp3 
file and use the z, c and x keys for play, pause and stop.  But I want to 
explore the menus to get an overview of its functions and adjustments, and 
every time I try to do that I wind up in trouble.  Once I somehow changed 
the interface so that it enlarged (I could see this happen) and then kept 
saying I was in the Library, and I couldn't understand the few controls that 
spoke when I tabbed around, and I couldn't exit the area, nor exit the 
program, as Alt F4 didn't do anything.  Another time, I got stuck in that 
library thing again, but Alt F4 exited for me.

Anyway, I even managed to blunder my way into the help file, but I couldn't 
navigate this worth a damn, either, no matter how I tried to use what 
sounded like a tree or book structure, use F6 to switch panes, or anything. 
It was a Jaws nightmare.

I don't recall seeing a link for just some instructions for screen reader 
users on that winamp4the blind site, don't know why.  Can anyone point me to 
some way I could read up on how to master this program, which for some 
reason is so popular among blind users?

thanks,
daniel
