I've been using Winamp since 1998 and don't intend to stop unless I can
find another player that's more accessible and does what i want it to.
I'll be interested if and when a new version comes out. You'd have to
show me a player that's even better, and that's a tall order.

First of all, I can’t answer that question as to what is more accessible
because I’ve not played around with Media Players for Windows for quite some
time.
I do use VLC for Windows and I’m able to access all the functions I need in
that player very easily such as the transport functions, file functions and so
on.
I have used Windows Media Player and I found it a more pleasurable experience
to use than I thought it would be mainly because of the excellent amount of
Shortcut keys and other goodies it has.
So as I’ve already said, claiming that Winamp is the best and most accessible
player in the world is a very general statement indeed and I wouldn’t have to
look too far to find people who would disagree, I know there’s a whole heap of
people out there using Windows Media Player because I’ve spoken to quite a few
who have given me tips on that software.
VLC users are a plenty and well as there being plenty of iTunes users and so on.

The news is that last week vivendi, which owns Universal Music, bought
a controlling interest in Radio Nomi. Many are hopeful that vivendi
will breathe new life into winamp.
Dane, which programs are more accessible than Winamp? I am on Brian's
side in believing that winamp was the most accessible media player
ever. Yes, I am still using Winamp and loving the experieince.

Winamp will always be the best player for screen reader users and
keyboard users so you are a very big lier. if the new winamp is better
and still accessable I would conciter using it but if not I will just
keep using version 5.66

Don’t care any more as there are so many good alternatives anyway, the
best thing that every happened in the media player world was the
announcement made that development would cease on Winamp and as yet I’ve
not heard any convincing reason as to why anyone should mourn the loss of
this software.
If a new company has taken Winamp over and development has started again
then all well and good but I do think the player became far too bloated is
is very much over rated.

Hello listers,
Just wanted to know if any of you have used the latest version of Winamp
from Radionomy? If so, how accessible is it with screen readers? I found
out that the there is apparently only two versions, pro and light, and
the pro is around $19.00.
I might consider springing for the Pro version if I knew that it was
actually worth it, or maybe another way of putting it, if it wouldn't
break all of my presets and WE scripts/apps. I'd far rather use the old
version for as long as I can, rather than destroying a perfectly working
Winamp listening environment.
