Re: Live 365, new Website less accessible?
Thanks John. I encourage everyone who used to enjoy one of the thousands of stations on Live 365, but can no longer access the streams to write to Live 365 support and let them know how you feel about being locked out. Unless they solve the accessibility problem, I will most likely and regrettably be looking into another service for the streaming of my own station. Unfortunately, cost has to be considered as a factor, but if a move is necessary, I'm hoping to learn that Live 365 is not the only service out there that will serve as a legal broadcasting avenue at a comparable price.

So, I guess I'll be looking for jazz and other types of radio stations that I like to listen to via the web else where. Sorry I couldn't get LIVE 365.com to work on my Mack system, I wish I could be of more help to you. My best regards.

Hello John. I believe that your problem is directly related to changes introduced by the Live 365 website.

From what you have already explained, it sounds as though Windows and Mac users are experiencing One thing that we can do is to visit their support page and fill out the form which is provided for people experiencing problems. The form, at least, is accessible Best regards, Larry.

Is it the same with a windows screen reader? Further, some of the other links on individual station pages don't seem to work. For one thing, the link to my presets page, though spoken by Voiceover, does not work when the proper keyboard command is executed. I'm not going to promote my station here, as this is not the proper venue for it. But I am concerned that blind listeners may be experiencing problems when trying to listen to a Live 365 stream, such as mine. The website makeover took place in the last couple of days. So, since the new site was introduced, has anybody besides me noticed a problem in accessing individual streams and links while using a screen reader? Thanks for any thoughts.
