My experience with audio enhancer plugins shows them falling into one of a
few categories:
#1. totally inaccessible.
#2. Only accessible to the point where you can load whatever presets come
with the plugin and the presets are crap.
#3. Works fine with a screen reader, but very limited in what it can do.
#4. Not freeware and the demo version does not begin to reveal what the
plugin might be able to do if you paid for it.
One final thought is this. audio enhancers are a nice idea, but more often
than not they tend to add either distortion or other undesired noise to MP3
files. The truly quality enhancer plugins that can render their effects
without adding a bunch of garbage to the sound are not free and, in most
cases, aren't accessible anyway. My advice to someone who wants audio
enhancement is to spend some time tweaking the winamp equalizer and, if
their sound card supports eax effects, use those instead of a Winamp
plugin. They will be much happier.
