Re: [Blind-Computing] Finding the total run time of a group of songs

Hi mike,

There is another way to get a good amount of information about the files 
you are arrowing while in a folder, including the bitrate, lenth, size...

You just have to check a checkbox in the jaws configuration manager 
untitled toolTips, once you do so, you will be able to hear a lot of 
information related to the file you are on without need to look up its 
properties. However, i noticed that it says the run time only for the 
MP3 files not for RM files. Try it and see  whether you like it or not...

Good luck

Yeah Mike, you should try Winamp, it's the most powerful media player 
in terms of accessibility and the many features it offers. You won't 
regret...

Hi Scorpio:

Thank you very much for the great tips.  This makes me almost want to 
switch
to WinAmp.  I'm currently running WMP11.  But, I will definitely save 
these
steps in case I make the switch.  Thanks again, take care.
Mike

Hi Mike,

You can easily accomplish this by highlighting all the songs you want to
find the total time of, either using the shift up and down arrows, or 
the
control and up or don arrow then control+spacebarring on the tracks 
you want
to include in your calculations.

Once done, it's just a matter of using Winamp to your advantage.

Once you've highlighted all the files, press your applications key, then
press the letter "P": for the play in Winamp option and it will 
either play
right away, or you'll have to hit enter, depending on what you've
highlighted.

So, now that the tracks are playing, and assuming you're in the 
Winamp main
window, pause the playback with the spacebar, then control+tab to the
playlist window.

If you find that it isn't open, press alt+E to open it, then perform the
control+tab to go to that window.

Once in that window, press control+alt+G to create an html file of your
playlist.

This playlist will contain each track listing, it's play time, and 
the total
playlist playtime in it, at which point, you can choose to save the
information in the playlist, or simply discard it and use various other
options at your disposal.

If you'd like to add other folders or files to the playlist because 
you feel
that the playlist isn't long enough, press shift+L or just the L key 
to add
the folders and files, respectively, at which point, you can use the
control+alt+G command to get the track list and the information again.

HTH.

Scorpio
