Hi Chris,
Well, you genius you, it turns out you did leave out a step. I got it to
work as follows:
1. Run Winamp, switch to the library and move to the Online Media/shoutcast
radio (or for that matter, any other of the 6 listings;
2. press insert (JAWS key) + Z to turn on virtual cursor;
3. now route JAWS to PC;
4. Press page up to move to the top of the page with the JAWS cursor;
5. arrow down to the line that begins the shoutcast radio or whatever other
choice you have made;
6. route PC to JAWS and presto! instant web page with most features
familiar to web pages active and present.

Subject: major discovery!
Hi folks
Ok, now i just made a *major* discovery, I'm gonna have to be eating
some major crow over at the Winamp forums!
The library in 5.2 *does* work with JAWS and I'll show you exactly
how. I have no idea how to do it with Window-eyes, so y'all are on your own.
Ok, to get the new style of browser to work with JAWS 7.0, do the following
1. Open Winamp, and go to the library.
2. focus on the online services section, and then press right arrow
to open that, and then arrow down to Shoutcast radio.
3.
now, press insert z to turn on your JAWS virtual cursor, because it
needs to be on.
4. Left click and that should bring things into focus. You are now
presented with a web page type of view where you can search by typing
a search phrase into the edit box, or choosing a genre from the combo box.
Note you'll need to turn forms mode on before you search, and off
after you search. I also had to press insert escape to refresh the
screen, but it definitely worked and I was able to find the comedy
genre and find a station. pressing enter on the link launches a
station. Note for some reason, JAWS will say, this page link before
everything.
Give it a try and let me know how you guys get on. if we explain to
Nullsoft that adding the title attribute to the links may make things
speak a little better, I think we may be getting somewhere.
