Hello Scorpio: In your "post" you mentioned your "favourite described movie". This got me intrigued, so I have a few questions. Is this what I think it is? Where would one find such things? How much do they cost? Based on the spelling of "favourite" I am guessing that you might be from Canada, eh? Are such movies available in Canada?

Personally, I've always had a preference for Winamp, if only because of the single handed keystrokes, as opposed to the two handed keystrokes of windows Media Player, with the control+P for play/pause, control+S for the stop function, and of course, the control+F and B for the forward/skip forward and rewind functions, whereas with Winamp, you only have the single letter keystrokes of spacebar or C to play/pause, V to stop the playback, B and Z to skip to the next track and skip to the previous track, and, of course, the arrow keys to turn the volume up or down, as well as fast forward and rewind through a track, well, if I happen to be eating popcorn while listening to my favourite described movie, I would rather not handle my keyboard too much with my buttery fingers. LOL. As I said though, it is fairly subjective. A perfect example of this is my preference for screen readers. Although I could readily purchase one of the other screen readers at a less expensive price, or at an easier price plan, I still choose Jaws for my screen reader because of what I'm comfortable with, especially seeing as how I started with Jaws when I first went blind, so, if you're comfortable using WMP, then by all means, do so, as I said, the option is there if you're ever in a crunch. I guess it's my turn to ask the question. Does WMP not have a library that would display this type of information? I've always thought that the WMP library was the most accessible without scripts to handle with Jaws, as opposed to the Winamp library which required scripts to access. Is this not the case with WMP?
