It just seems to me that if they knew there was an issue with Winamp,
arguably one of the more popular programs with users of JAWS, that they
should've waited to release the program when those bugs were squashed.
It's probably no secret to any of you guys who know me, personally that
I've switched to Window-eyes, and am very glad I did. I know that's not
something everyone can do, but for those who can, Jeff Bishop's Winamp
scripts are absolutely amazing!
I do have a workaround though, especially for you guys using JAWS 11,
until FS gets the update released.
Give, http://www.satogo.com a try. It's absolutely free, and the awesome
thing is in this case, you don't necessarily get what you pay for. You
can use all the popular windows programs that everyone's used to using,
and it works really well. It's meant to be more of a portable, on the go
solution, like if you're at someone's house who doesn't have
screenreading software installed, all you do is visit the website,
follow the spoken instructions, log in and you're in business. It seems
to work with Winamp pretty well, under all the popular versions of
windows. I'm still using xp but I've heard from others using win 7 both
32 and 64 bit that it works well with those as well. So if you're stuck
and need something to use while you wait for the JAWS update, give that
a try.

well, it certainly seems that way. Now all we have to do is play the

Woohoo! So hopefully I'll be able to fully use Winamp in the next
update for 64 bit!

Dear Robert
Thank you for contacting Freedom Scientific technical Support. If
you are using Windows 7 64 bit, there are known issues with the
JAWS® screen reading software WinAmp scripts that will be addressed
in an update due to be released soon. If you are using the 32 bit
version of Windows 7, let me know because I will need to perform
additional research pertaining to your issue.
