On a quick note, the rhapsody blind scripts allow you to listen to tons of 
radio stations created by rhapsody and by users. It is 10 bucks a month, but 
you listen to anything. iTunes has radio stations that work, but not as many as 
rhapsody. I hear that there is some internet radio stuff with pandora too.

  Subject: streaming radio on websites using JAWS


  Are there any secrets to operating these players on a lot of streaming radio 
stations these days?
  I used to love saving my stations URL in Favorites in a Real Player.  Are 
those days mostly gone now?

  Here is an example of one of these player.
  My JAWS says no buttons.

  I am curious if any others using JAWS 12 with the latest update, on IE 9 with 
a Windows 7 Home Premium machine has the same experience.
  I seem to remember that my Jaws 11 on my old XP machine at least would tab to 
an unlabeled button where I could start the player to play.

  As I ask this question, just to throw in this bonus....   how about these 
Internet WiFi radios?  Is there a way to use them? 
  Same goes for the mp3 players. I want to learn how to use something that will 
be reliable and can be navigated using some sort of speech.
  Does anyone else use the Rockbox open source on the Sandisk Sansa mp3 
players?  I have had mixed experience, mostly with their crapping out after a 
short while.  I don’t know about the IPod. I have avoided ITunes. But maybe 
this is the most reliable of the mp3 players?



  Thanks.
  Rik
