I might add that one can label the points, where the bookmarks are added and there is a prompt to do so, when one hits the m key!

Start playing the file. 2. Pause with C. 3. Jump to the desired time in minutes and seconds with CTRL/J. 4. Insert a bookmark with m. 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you've added all the jump points you want. A few caveats. 1. This only works with Winamp using the JAWS scripts as provided by FS. There may be equivalent functionality with Window-Eyes, I don't know. 2. The bookmarks are saved in a special JAWS-readable bookmarks file, not in the MP3 itself, so you can't take the bookmarks or the bookmarked file with you to another machine. Once the jump points are added, they stay in the JAWS Winamp bookmark file until they are removed. While it is possible to remove them without the use of Winamp, using Notepad or some other text editor, it's a little obtuse in how to do it, so the bookmarks file could potentially grow.
