Hi If I connect Winamp etc to http://yoursqueezeboxserver:9000/stream.mp3. then the sound will go through my PC's soundcard. Not optimal.
I have a large collection of music stored in FLAC which I want to transfer digitally (bitperfect to the DAC and then to my HiFi) I do this now using a soundcard which support bitperfect streams over toslink, but I really want to use a squeezebox. The squeezebox/squeezebox server supports bitperfect streaming over toslink and coax. This is the preferred method for a semi-audiophile guy like me :) So if I can use the screenreader theme to operate the squeezebox I would be very happy. This will allow me to both test the internal DAC inside the squeezebox and my external DAC using toslink from the squeezebox. I would really like to have a look at the squeezebox server web interface. I don't use skype, sorry. Send me an e-mail off-list with the details. If you really want to be paranoid I can send you my IP, so you can only allow my IP access :) e-mail: oyvind (dot) lode (at) gmail (dot) com Do the obvious changes to the e-mail above and drop me a line. Remove spaces and so on... This is to avoid e-mail bots etc, you probably get it :) Thanks! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jeronimo Schöber Sent: 22. februar 2010 23:39 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] is there a Jaws-friendly music organizer? Hi, the screenreader directory should be available in any case. Regarding desktop software... There is a software emulation of the squeezebox. This is called softsqueeze and is largely java based. So I don't think it is accessible. However if you want to try squeezebox server without actually having a logitech/slimdevices music player you could connect your favourite media player to http://yoursqueezeboxserver:9000/stream.mp3. Then the ip of the computer running the player appears as a player in the list of available players. There are more skins available. /pda /classic /nokia770 are some that I have used. If you like I could open my servers interface to the wild wild web. If you have skype we could have a chat while you look at it.

Is the /screenreader theme/directory available on all installations? Or do I have to install it first? You also mentioned a desktop software is available. Is this app accessible with JAWS? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jeronimo Schöber Sent: 22. februar 2010 19:31 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] is there a Jaws-friendly music organizer? Hello, try http://yoursqueezeboxserver:9000/screenreader There a lots of different skins for squeezeboxserver formerly squeezecenter or slimserver. Currently I use a Thecus N5200 to run squeezecenter 7.3. This is a raid nas box with five hard disk drives and raid5. I don't care about speech while I am listening to music. Normally I just select a song and then the speech falls silent again. Disabling refreshing in jaws is an option. Or if you don't need the web interface just leave the window.

Hi Jeronimo: I tested the web interface (squeezecenter) a while ago. I found it hard to read (Braille) which track is currently playing etc. The page was refreshing very frequently, of obvious reasons... I think I remember you as a Braille user as well. So I would love to know how you fix this. Currently I transfer all music over a toslink (bitperfect from Winamp) to my DAC. Winamp enables me to read and operate the playlist etc just using Braille and my keyboard. I find it very cumbersome to listen to JAWS speaking when I am listening to music, so I disable speech. The music audio stream is from a secondary sound card of course. This solution works great, but I would love to run Squeezecenter on a Linux fileserver and stream it over my LAN. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jeronimo Schöber Sent: 22. februar 2010 13:52 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] is there a Jaws-friendly music organizer? Hi, I use squeezebox server along with a squeezebox classic made by logitech. It streams music to all my rooms and it has a costomizable web interface that works well with jaws. There are a lot of plugins. There is also a software version of the player but I can not tell a lot about this.
