Hi Jamie, Andrew and I along with other contributors who helped write the Winamp scripts really appreciate the fact that you find them useful even if others don't. I don't know if you've ever tried using the time marker feature? It is really good for marking spots in audio books or marking out tracks in a single MP3 which contains a whole album within it. Also you can resume from the same spot in the file which you marked. Not only that you can create multiple time markers. Check it out if you haven't already. We built that into Winamp via Jaws scripting.

' Subject: The Good Old Days (Was Mp3 players) TJ, I apologize if my comments annoyed you. I began using a computer in 1990 with a screen reader called ISOS, DOS 5.0, and Word Perfect 5.1 with 30 minutes of training on how to use a computer. Thank God for "Mastering Word Perfect" available from what was then just plain old RFB on cassette, and a Braille book on DOS 5.0 from NLS. I can remember many nights going to bed a 2 in the morning wondering of the $2500 I'd spent on a computer was a total waste. I have absolutely no trouble today using Audible, iTunes, my iPod, web-based e-mail when necessary, and Money Talks to balance my checkbook. The blind community has come a long way in 15 years. If some scripts can tell me that the Winamp equalizer is open, that I am listening to track 3 of a CD, that the title is "Mary Had A Little Lamb" and that there is 1 minute 40 seconds remaining in the track, I'll take that and be grateful. If I have to do a bit more work to make a program work, I'm quite willing to do that. I don't work for Freedom Scientific or anyone else who develops a screen reader, but those guys and gals work their tails off. I think we should be glad for what we have while striving to acquire even more. I'm sure this thread will get quite a bit longer from here and I eagerly look forward to the ride. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of TJ Olsen Sent: Monday, November 14, 2005 3:50 PM To: PC audio discussion list. Subject: Re: Mp3 players to many blind people become overly dependant on this sort of thing. I hate to harp but i remember copying and pasting webpages in notepad to read them (see jaws 2.0). So making coments like that just make me very anoyed. The softwear since its earliest days, same as the old msn were writen very easily to use. I object to the bloating of jaws i've seen in more recent years, like the sounds manager, scripts for things that don't need tehm.
