Thanks, Ron, for responding. Can I do this highlighting and cursor routing with
System Access to Go? I can't seem to move around the library very much with my
Window Eyes 6.1 without Winamp crashing on me. So using Window Eyes is kind of
a nonstarter for accessing the info in that section. Believe me, I've tried
quite a few times. Don't have a copy of JAWS, so it's SA to Go for now or
nothing, at least until the official release of Win Eyes 7.0 and the scripts
I've heard about. I'm a chicken, I admit..
Thanks again.
Evan

Hi Evan,
Try highlighting the stream name, and then (screen reader dependent) route
JAWS to PC cursor or WE cursor to application cursor and clicking on the text
name of the TV station. Some of the aspects of the Winamp Library require this.

Hello Again,
Thanks to System Access to Go, I am now able to use the library again in my
version 5.541. Unfortunately, when I hit the enter key on any of the Shoutcast
TV streams, absolutely nothing happens. I've tried many of them, but none of
them will play.
I've eliminated everything I could think of. I have all file types checked
in the Winamp Preferences, and when I play one of the TV streams I bookmarked
from an earlier version, they play just fine, or I get a Server Full message,
or something. It at least tries to connect, even if the stream is down or full.
And the video window opens up exactly the way it should when one of the TV
streams is playing, so I don't think it could be because video files are not
turned on. But when I try to play any of the Shoutcast TV streams in the
library, it is as though I had done nothing at all. It doesn't seem to be
trying to connect. If I have a stream playing, it doesn't interrupt it, as it
always used to, even if it can't connect to what I'm trying to play. It just
sits there so far as I can tell. I can connect to AOL Radio streams just fine.
Anyone got any ideas? I have no vision, but I still like to listen to some
of the TV shows, especially some of the cartoons that have a lot of dialogue.
I've bookmarked my favorites, but, as you guys probably know, they change their
addresses sometimes, so they need updating from time to time. Besides, there
are a lot more streams listed now than just the measly 30 I used to be able to
see. Around 200 last night when I checked. I've already found a couple more I'd
like to get, if I could only play them.
Thanks much for any help.
Evan
