Hi everyone.
I use this programme for videos and it works better than any others. I use Winamp for audio-only playback as of now and am fiddling with Foobar 2000, which seems very promising. But I would like to get greater functionality from VlC as well. To that end, I have the following questions: 1. How does a screen-reader user manipulate playlists? I can add folders, certainly. I can move between tracks with the "n" and "p" keys. How can I shuffle or randomise a playlist? The up and down arrow keys do not seem to move throught eh fils. I can use the "next" and "previous" keys for this, as mentioned, but what if I want to select another track in the playlist without actually stopping playback or playing through all the tracks until I get to the one I want? How can I get JAWS to read the *names* of the tracks as I move through them? 2. Setting the equalizer. A very necessary thing, for certain types of music as well as especially older, more underground films where the soundtrack is fairly muffled. I have figured out how to select and adjust a preset. However, any adjustments I make are not saved, unless I modify the default setting through a very cumbersome method that involves entering in a series of numbers representing the eq values. Does anyone have a more efficient way of doing this? 3. Synchronising audio and video tracks. So far I have not really found a way to do this properly without sighted assistance. I can carry out the first few steps of adding a separate audio track to a video file, but am stymied when opening the "play" button, which has some kind of drop-down menu attached to it that jAWS does not seem to see. Any thoughts? Thanks. For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
