Thanks, Chris.  I tried Winamp once before, but found it confusing to learn 
because of the non-standard interface.  Maybe I'll download the latest 
version and try to master it, at least for my simple needs of streaming (I 
know, I can't use the markers there) and playing podcasts.

Could you paste in the best link for downloading Winamp again?  Also, from 
what you said earlier, it sounded as if, although there *are* some old Jaws 
scripts on the JFW Lite programs page (I know they can't have been updated, 
of course), it sounds as if they aren't really necessary just to use the 
basic functions.  Am I right?  It's okay just to download the current 
version and learn to use it, as is?

thanks.

Hi Dan
Your questions, and then my answers...

    can you set such a marker, then completely
>stop (not pause) play, and have the marker still there when you start
>playing the file again?

Yes you can, it's very easy, just set your time marker at a specific
point and it'll stay there til you remove it with another keystroke.
You can have as many time markers in a file as you need to, and they
can even be exported to send to a friend who may have the same files.

>still be there if you can play the same file?

Yup, if you close the program an open it up and then play the file
again, the time markers will still be there.  They stay til you
remove them yourself.

and don't worry, your questions were good, they made perfect sense.
