[JAWS-Users] Windows Media Player verses winamp535
Hello Folks, I did not mean to start a thread on Winamp verses Window Media Player, but since it is started I will tell you my experiences on why I did not install Winamp! A good friend, a person in the know, sent me winamp5541_full with instructions on how to install it. However, so many folks on one of the list groups I am on, which includes this gentleman who first responded to my message, I think it is Chris Hallsworth, kept writing messages to the list, a lot and lot of messages, stating this version was not very JAWS friendly, in fact it was full of problems for a JAWS user, and one should use an older version winamp535 or something like that. Well, they just scared me off, and I just decided to not install either, the new version, or the old version, but stick with Microsoft's product, the program they support and which came with my computer, Windows Media Player. That's it! End of Story, and I hope end of this thread. Thanks for all who contributed to sending me training texts and sites where I can learn more about this Windows Media Player program. David I think sent me one such tutorial, and I thank him, it looks very in-depth, but it is something like 55 pages, and I intend to study it, but in the meanwhile, I just thought some one could give me a simple 1 2 3 on how to create a playlist. Thanks to all.

Alan and all, I'm not in any way encouraging you to use Winamp, however since version 5.551 I can confirm that problems that occurred in previous versions, particularly if you use Vista, has been eliminated. The only problems we still have is the fact we can only use Winamp's classic skin, and the fact that some versions of JAWS causes Winamp to crash when trying to focus on the list of tracks in the Winamp library. It would, however, appear that the latest JAWS 10, JAWS 10.0.1139, this problem has been all of a sudden resolved. Personally, I only use the library to rip CD's and just use Winamp's main window and playlist editors otherwise. So, if you can, give Winamp another look, and just bear the problems we still have in mind. I hope this helps. -- Chris Hallsworth e-mail: christopher...@googlemail.com MSN: ch9...@hotmail.com Skype: chrishallsworth7266 - Original Message - From: Alan Dicey adi...@bellsouth.net To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Monday, March 23, 2009 7:48 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Windows Media Player verses winamp535 Hello Folks, I did not mean to start a thread on Winamp verses Window Media Player, but since it is started I will tell you my experiences on why I did not install Winamp!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Windows Media Player verses winamp535
Hi Alan, Here is one quick way you might try to create a playlist using Windows Media Player 11: 1. Navigate to the folder where the music is that you want to add to the playlist. 2. Select the audio files that you want included in the play list. 3. When the songs that you want included are selected use the application key to bring up a context menu, and then use down arrow key to the add to Windows Media player list and press enter key. 4. When Windows media player starts playing use CTRL+P to pause it. 5. Press Alt+F in Windows Media player and use down arrow to the save now playing list as choice and press enter key. 6. Name your play list in the edit box. 7. use tab key to the files of type choice and you can use up and down arrow keys to make your selection. You probably will want the first choice, which is .wpl. 8. Check to see where the play list will be saved. I am not using XP but I think that using Alt+I will move you to the save in box or you can use tab key until you find it. If using Vista you can route JAWS to PC, do a page up, and then use down arrow one time to read the line that shows where your play list will be saved. If this wasn't clear or if you have trouble with it, you know my E-mail address. Feel free to contact me. Take care.
