If all you're looking for is a ripper and a burner with a simple interface,
definitely forget about the realPlayer, and go with Easy CD-DA Extractor,
instead. I only use RealPlayer for playing Real web streams, and for burning
the RAX files I've been downloading lately from the Real Music Store, which
can only be burned to CD in the Premium RealPlayer.
As to the file types: start Windows Explorer (NOT Internet Explorer), go to
the Tools menu, go to the Folder Options menu, press ctrl-tab twice, so that
you're on the third tab in the dialogue, the File Types tab. Explore the
settings on that tab. Let me know if you have any further questions, once
you've done so.

Donna, I admit I just don't understand the Real Player menus, then. So far
as I understood earlier, I *was* in the section for setting the file types
the Library should deal with. I just don't understand theinterface, and I
think I'm just going to give up and settle on one of the several commercial
rip and burn programs I've been auditioning to see which one is most Jaws
friendly and most comprehensible to me.
So let me just give up on this Real Player project. I tried the same
procedure in Windows Media Player and that, too defeated me because there
are so many controls and lists as I tab around, it's a real mess to figure
out. I really appreciate the simpler, dedicated programs all the more in
comparison.
But one question I'd still like to ask: You say there's a Window Explorer
file types dialogue? What do you mean? I'm pretty familiar with Windows
Explorer-- I mean very familiar; I use it as my file management tool all
day. But I don't know what you're referring to.
Thanks.

Yardbird,
I can't find anything like what you're talking about in the My Library
preferences section. The only place I find anything like that is in the
mediaTypes preferences. and these do not control the media types that My
Library will notice, so much as the media types RealPlayer will play.
As far as how to configure them, I find it much easier to do so from the
Windows Explorer File Types dialogue. You can just scroll down the list of
types there, and assign those you wan to Realplayer, and those you want to
Winamp, etc. You can even assign some to windows Media player, though I
wouldn't recommend doing that. <grin>

I have a question about this part of the operation, also. I went into the
Library configuration things in the Files menu, and got to where I was
presented with a list of file types from which to choose which would be
noticed and imported into the library. Well, I couldn't figure out how to
make the individual options in the list say whether they were selected or
not, and kept experimenting with the space bar to see if they'd speak their
state. But they didn't. So I tabbed and discovered buttons for select all
and deselect all. But I'd rather be able to check just the file types I
want the library to deal with, spcifically .mp3 and .wma files, and that's
it.
Anyone know how to select file types using Jaws?
Thanks.

Tim,
I did go back into My Library, and, this time, I was able to figure out how
to purge all the files that had gotten added, and re-import just the ones I
want. Now, to keep it updated, I've selected the folders I want watched, an
enabled the watch feature. But where it asks how often I want the folder
check, it gives me an edit box into which to enter a number. But I can't
tell if the number is a number of minutes, hours, or what units.

I don't use JFW so I don't find it difficult to use the mouse keys. I don't
know of a hot key, although there might be one. Realplayer has a really
good help file. In fact, if you don't like it you can get the screen
accessible help file. The help lists a hotkey section specifically for
Screenreaders. I felt the same way you did about "my library" until I
started using the Ipod Shuffle for music. You should really take another
look at it because if you do a lot of transferring or burning it makes it a
lot easier to do.

Tim,
I find using My Library very difficult. I prefer to highlight the tracks I
want to burn in Windows Explorer, then right click, and choose burn a CD
in Realplayer. But, whether I select the tracks I want to burn this way,
or your way (using My Library), once the Burn/Transfer screen is up, I
still have the same difficulty. I can tab until I find the Burn Your CD
button. But I can't activate it in PC cursor mode. I have to switch to
JAWS cursor mode. But, then, I still find it very difficult to locate the
burn Your CD button using the JAWS CURSOR.
What I want, once my tracks are selected and I'm on the Burn/Transfer
screen (however I've gotten to that point), is something like a pull-down
menu command, hot key, or key stroke command, to activate the Burn Your Cd
button, without having to resort to the JAWS cursor. Do you have any
suggestions on this specific, last step in the process?
Thanks.
Blessed Be,
Dana

Yes. Just make sure your library is set up right before you do this. Hit
the alt-v key and choose burn-transfer. When you pick it you can choose
what you want from your library and tell it that you want to burn a cd(do
that first) and click burn cd. Oh, you need to tell it what kind of cd.

Subject: Burning with RealPlayer
For a few days now, I've been downloading tracks from the RealPlayer 10
Music Store, burning them to CD - which has to be done in RealPlayer
Premium - , and ripping them off as .wav files. It's been working well,
and the quality of the tracks is excellent! But I have one major problem
(aside from the cost <grin>). When the tracks I want to burn are loaded
in RealPlayer and ready to be burned, the "burn your Tracks" button has
to be click with the JAWS cursor, and it's rather hard to find in JAWS
cursor mode. Does anyone know of an easier way to start a burn in
RealPlayer 10? Is there a key stroke, or something else I don't know
about?
Thanks.
Blessed Be,
Dana
