Re: [JAWS-Users] Winamp as default player

2008-01-23 Thread Denny Huff
Victor,
Thanks for your concern, but I assure you I have no viruses or spyware on
any of my PC's.  As I stated in a previous message, it was several years ago
that Real Player would take over as default and only a time or two that WMP
did it after installation and that was in earlier versions.  That is when I
started using Winamp Agent and as I said, it hasn't been a problem with
either Jaws or Windoweyes, so I have continued to use it.

Thanks again,

Hi Denny,

While I respect your opinion regarding the Winamp Agent and it's uses, I
think you should know that if the default is being taken away from Winamp,
then you most likely have other issues to worry about.

In all the time I have ever used Winamp, well over 8 years, Windows Media
Player has never taken over the playing of my media unless I tell it to.

For example, I have Winamp set to play audio files and CD's, but I let
Windows Media player set to play video files at all times.

This is my preference, since I find Winamp pretty bad at playing video
files, not to mention, and to bring this back on topic, I find the video
controls for Windows Media Player to be more accessible with Jaws.

I have tried playing videos with Winamp, and while I could hear the audio,
my wife, who is sighted, could not see the video portion of the file, so
I've kept this setting ever since.

Suffice it to say, I have never had my audio files hijacked by Windows Media
Player since I've used Winamp.  Wish I could say the same for Internet
Explorer, but glad I can say it for Winamp.

Might this hijacking you are talking about be the result of some possible
viruses or spam, or even spyware that you may not be aware of?

Like I said, I find it strange that your audio files would be hijacked by
WMP.

I guess the caveat could be that I am a one of a kind user who has never
experienced this, and welcome any comments from others who have experienced
this phenomenon.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Winamp as default player

2008-01-23 Thread Flor Lynch
Victor,

Things may have changed between different versions.  Since I use Windows 
media player as the default for most of these file types, I had no problems 
when upgrading from version 10 to 11.  I remember being asked - before 
playing a Main Menu mp3 file as it was on that occasion i described 
previously - did I want Windows Media player to always play this type of 
file?  (I was testing it, you see.  At that time, I had winamp playing my 
mp3's.  So i said no, and then opened the file in Winamp.  The choice took)

Hi Flor,

Doesn't the install for the WMP update involve the user actually setting up
the preferences?

I seem to remember that it did similar to Winamp.

Last time I installed the update to WMP 11 from 10, it asked me what file
types I wanted WMP to handle.

I simply told it to only handle video files and to leave audio and CD's
files to other programs.

I could be wrong about this, but this may have been a particular setting I
entered on when I installed it.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Winamp as default player

2008-01-23 Thread Flor Lynch
Victor,

that sort of thing (the playing of files by WMP instead of Winamp, for 
example) could easily happen if WMP is the last player to have been updated. 
I know that at the time I updated to Windows media Player 9 from 8, it 
wanted to play all file types that it could, until I went in and selected 
some, but not all.  But it's not a problem, really.  Just select the file 
types you want in each player, and they should all cohabit respectfully 
almost ever after.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Winamp as default player

2008-01-23 Thread Denny Huff
Another work around for the browser is to not install the Winamp Agent upon
installation of Winamp, but then to activate it after installation.
I have just never had any problems using the Winamp Agent and Jaws.

I think at one time it was automatically enabled or at least always
available when you had winamp Agent installed.  However, what I do now when
installing Winamp is uncheck everything except the 'slower connections,
accessibility' or classic set-up.  It wouldn't matter as much now, but in
the old days things Like Realplayer and/or Winamp Agent being in the System
Tray took up some RAM resources.  In general, the less cluttered the screen
the better - for screen-readers, and many other users.  Winamp packs a lot
into a small space!  I use it, occasionally at the moment.

Yes, the Winamp browser really messes with a screenreader, but I didn't know
it had anything to do with the Winamp Agent.  There is a plugin available
for disabling the browser starting with version 5.1.

Victor,
I have been using the Winamp Agent since version 2.1 and have not had any
problems with it interfering with my screen reader.  Several years ago
everytime I would use Real Player, it would take over as the default player.
That is when I started using the Winamp Agent and it has worked for me ever
since.
I don't know how it would interfere with a screenreader, but I guess
anything is possible.

Hi Denny,

I'm a bit confused by your post.

Everything I've read about installing the Winamp Agent says to do otherwise
and not install it.

It apparently does not work well with screen readers, and has even been
suggested on Main Menu that the agent be excluded from being installed on
all machines running assistive technology.

Has this changed since the release of 5.35?

I have not updated to 5.51 as I still think there are some bugs that need to
be ironed out in that issue, but I still have not seen anything to
contradict my earlier comments.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Winamp as default player

2008-01-23 Thread Flor Lynch
I don't bother with the Winamp Agent, either, for the same reasons.  (It had 
been known to get in the way of the main Winamp window.)  Also, I prefer 
Windows media Player as my default for many file types.  One reason is the 
ability to more easily 'speed listen' in WMP, which is useful for podcast 
listening, by increasing the speed up-down slider from its default at 14% to 
sometimes more than 20%. (that tab area  - the Windows media Taskbar - is a 
feature-rich one.  I also use a braille display, so perhaps that helps, as 
well as having an external speech synthesizer.)

Re: [JAWS-Users] Winamp as default player

2008-01-22 Thread Denny Huff
I might add to David's instructions that you can keep other media players
from taking over as the default player by enabling Winamp Agent.
While in Winamp do a control p for preferences.
Type the letter f for file types.
Tab to, Winamp agent and press your spacebar to check it.
Tab to close and press spacebar.
 This will prevent other players like Windows Media Player from taking over
as the default.
