Not yet, being a chicken, as I said before. But I'm hearing good things about
it on the GW Micro list, so I may try it. I generally stay away from beta
software for the very reason that it's beta.

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.

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
