Hi Jay

First thing you need to do is, if at all possible, upgrade your version of JAWS.
If you absolutely insist on getting Shoutcast tv and this new version of Winamp, JAWS 4.51 just ain't gonna cut it.
The problem is that the older versions of JAWS just simply do not handle things in the way the newer ones do. There have been a lot of advances in the way JAWS handles the virtual buffer, and that's what you're gonna be using to access this new library. I suspect that JAWS 4.51 isn't able to gain focus in the library window, and that's where you need to be.
I know that's not the kind of answer you wanted, because upgrading JAWS isn't easy for everybody to do, some folks just don't have the cash. But if you can, I would do so. Even with JAWS 7 this new library is shaky. I'm very familiar with how to surf the web on difficult pages, and this library is a real bugger because JAWS just will not gain focus in the right way all the time. Some scripts are gonna have to be written to overcome these issues.
I suppose in the meantime you could download a demo of JAWS 7.0, or if you have the necessary cash, go ahead and upgrade. You won't get perfect access to the library, but it'll at least let you do a few clicks and read the window and maybe get to a few streams.


Like I said I know that's not the answer you wanted, but it's the best i can think of. Unless one of y'all has gotten the library to read with JAWS 4.51? I haven't used that for a couple years now.

Ok, now I have winamp 5.2, and I'm using Jaws 4.51, I
see the shoutcast tv thing in my library, but whenever

doing wrong.  Do I need to have the minibrowser active
in winamp, what should I do.
