Hi I'm not a VIP user but It doesn't surprise me at all. CD baby took
blind access away last year when they changed ownership. I personally think
they did it intentionally to. They said they lost some of the data and
that's why flash had to be used. Now a user can no longer review, preview or
even contact artists from the site. These idiots said well why don't you
call us if you want to buy? as if by magic we are going to buy music we've
never heard? No movement on this topic since Donna Hill published an
article quoting me and several artists I had contacted. The GSN channel isn't
accessible at least as far as playing the games and winning prises like our
sighted friends. I've been screaming about that for years. Ever try
pandora? There is an HTML work around on that site. To set up an account
just
go to _www.pandora.com/backstage_ (http://www.pandora.com/backstage) . You
should be able to set up an account that way. when you get to it all you
have to do to get to your profile is to type thatURL then after the slash
just add the word people then another slash then your screen name which is
the same as your email So if you want to look at my profile there and listen
to my favorite stations just go to www/pandora.com/people/kenlawrence124
You'll see links for several stations. Another great site is Last dot FM
You should hear the library I have built on that. I have over 1500 artists
on that site in my library. That's why I can proudly say, "I don't have to
show you any stinking Jack FM" Huh? It's easy to set up an account.
I'm going to send a copy of this digest to a couple Live 365 DJS and se if I
can get movment on this. Just because there are alternatives to Live 365
doesn't mean we shouldn't push until it gives. Saying we won't participate
isn't going to do it because if blind are too few and too small a minority
for them to keep uss and if that is acceptable listeners not to have, if
blind are an expendable listener base to them a Boycott sure won't get their
attention Huh? That's seems to be the indifferent thinking of these sites.

Hi All,
I'm a VIP user of Live365.com. I haven't been on the site in several
weeks, and when I went on yesterday, I was quite horrified to see that they
seemed to have updated the site, and are now using much more flash, it seems,
than they have in the past.
Here are a few things I no longer seem able to do that I could do
perfectly well in the past.:
Add currently playing tracks to my Wish List
Find out which album the currently playing track comes from
adjust my volume control for music or content playing
Also, the player use to open up in a new browser window, whether I was
using Firefox or IE. Now it seems to open in a flash player in the same
window, using a flash player whose contents I can no longer entirely access.
If any of you are also utilizing this service, are you now experiencing
similar issues? If so, have you figuring out any way to resolve them?
I just realized while typing this that maybe I could check on my "Listen"
settings, to see if something in there I could modify may assist with the
issues I'm now having. So I'll check that. I'm just rather frustrated with
this, since I'm a paying member of this site, and it use to work perfectly
well for me. *sigh*
Using the latest version of Jaws 10, BTW.
Happy weekend, everyone.
Best,
Kim
