Hi. Well mainly I want other options other than the two I currently use. The ability to navigate with in a file and particularly the bookmark facility would be most helpful. My main concern is just how accessible the programme is with JAWS. Also, I understand there are plug ins for the programme, are they free or do they have a cost attached to them. Also, exactly what does the basic version offer? Does the ability to navigate within files and bookmarks come within the scope of the standard version or are scripts required to get full functionality from the programme. A blind person can use Gold wave without the scripts if they know what they are doing but to get the full benefit Scripts are really necessary for gold Wave, is Winamp the same? Finally, what other programmes have the Bookmark facility and ability to navigate within a file. One other thing I haven't mentioned but it would be helpful and that is the ability to play a very large folder of mp3 files in a jukebox fashion. At the moment I have a folder with just over 10,000 mp3 files in it. I have WMP set to shuffle mode and I merely select all then add to Windows media player and I can play music for hours without interruption. This folder is going to grow to 150,000 files and much more. I just wonder if Winamp will be able to handle that amount of files in a similar fashion. Walter.

What are you looking for in a media player? I like Winamp because I can manage my local libraries, my portable media players and my podcasts. I also like the bookmarks feature and the ability to skip around in a file. Handling content over the internet isv't very accessible though. I like FooBar 2000 because it's interface is so simple. You can also manage local libraries with it. Setting it up is kind of tedious though, since you need to set up all of your own hot keys. I don't think it manages podcasts for you. It does come in a portable flavor though, which is nice if you want to run it off of a USB drive or SD card. I still pull up WMP occasionally, but that's mostly just to rip CD's.
