                Hi all.

Wow, I'm actually pretty amazed that I'm the first one to speak about this. I now have JAWS 8.0, and the access to the Media Library in version 5.31 is interesting to say the very least. I don't know if it's just ignorance on my part or if I'm just getting weird in my older years, but I haven't yet found a way to select a category in the library without JAWS going to it and start reading it first. It's kind of a pain to hit f6, arrow down, JAWS names that item and starts reading the web page associated with that item, I hit f6, we go back to the tree view, I arrow down, same thing. Has anyone found a way around this issue? Also, I've noticed that in earlier versions of JAWS, with verbocity set to medium or advanced, hitting the hotkey to announce the track length,would make JAWS simply speak the track length which I like a lot. But in JAWS 8, with verbocity set to medium or advanced, hitting the hot key makes JAWS say, "the track length is...before the track length. Is there any way I can just get it to say the track length without that introductory stuff? I already know that I want the track length spoken, so I just want that. Yeah I know, I'm picky and that's probably nit picky, but I thought I'd try and find out. I'd be interested in any of your guys thoughts on the support for the media library in version 5.3 and 5.31 of Winamp with JAWS 8.0.
