thanks, Steve, for the comments. My primary interest here isn't ripping, but burning. I use CDex for ripping tracks to .mp3s. It's the burning process whose accessibility and intuitive design I'm most interested in.
Thanks again. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Pattison" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

You can hear a review of a MUCH EARLIER VERSION OF this program in the Main Menu archives on the ACB Radio home page at www.acbradio.org/pweb/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=19&MMN_position=30:29. The edition with the review is dated 21 March 2001. Below are some notes I received from another Window-Eyes user about the accessibility of this program: -Steve. Here it is. Note that, as he says, the first track you'll be on after following his steps will be track2. So, if you wanted to select track1, you'd have to up arrow once, and press the spacebar. If you then pressed alt+1, you'd here track1 played. If you've used this program for a while, I'm sure you already know that to operate the player controls, you have to use the bypass key (insert+b) in every case. I will explain here as a summary the most important key combination You must do to get tracks selected with the Space key: 1. In the very beginning (after the CD is inserted and auto queue read) press Function Key F2 (Edit Artist), then F3 (Edit Title) and Finally once more F2 key! Now You have to press the Enter Key and immediately after that the Left Arrow just once - This gets You to line 2 (second title) to selectable state. 2. Now You can use the Up and Down Arrow keys to navigate the rows and at each row You like to select press the Spacebar. When all is done press F8 to get all those Ripped! Do not press Arrow key at all. 3. If You get stuck and cannot go to next line just repeat section 1 at this post (Press F2, F3, F2, Enter and Left Arrow) and You will be at the selectable state again at the next row! 4. Just use Your screen reader or better yet the Alt+1 to play the current track and Alt+6 to stop playing. That's like browsing by sense of hearing to know where your cursor (selected line) is! 5. One more note: if you like to rip all the tracks at an album, just press the F8 Function Key at the very beginning. It will select all tracks by default and Rip them! (If Control+A and Control+N are reserved keys at Your screen reader application, they won't work at Easy CD-DA Extractor version 7!)
