Re: accessible software media player that can bookmark

[Chris Skarstad]

Winamp does this, provided you have either jaws or 
Window-eyes scripts.  Unfortunately I don't know if NVDA has an addon 
with this functionality, but it'd be nice.  People have delighted in 
sending me eleven-hour-long audio books, yes, all in one giant file, and 
i find it impossible to navigate so bookmarks are a welcome feature.

RE: IOS 10 And AirPlay

[John Gurd]

I just tried Airplay on my Stealth 2 using my iPod 6th gen with Apple Music.
Mary you're right, It wasn't as laggy as I thought and it's much better
having Voice Over on the device. It even sounded better. I'll use it from
now on. :)

RE: IOS 10 And AirPlay

[John Gurd]

It's the Azitom Stealth Air 2. I got it a few years ago so it's dropped in
price on Amazon. It's currently selling for £118. It's not Hi-Fi but sounds
pretty good. I use it when I'm exercising in the loft.

And you have to think of your health when carting those things about in 
the big wide world, headphone jacking might become quite common if it 
isn't already ,.

Since these cans are under discussion I thought I'd go in search of a review 
and this is an interesting read.
Those who know the B P7 cans - as I do - can look at some interesting 
comparisons between P7 and P9.
Should you upgrade? Well in the end that decision is between both you and your bank 
manager  but the review certainly puts forward some very compelling 
reasons as to why the Bowers and Wilkins P9 cans should be on a future shopping list.

SV: Bowers And Wilkins P9 Headphones

[Brian Olesen]

HI,
Speaking of headphones. Yesterday I just got my new Bose Quiet Comford 35.
They're gordious.
When turned off I could hear a grass trimmer running outside, but as soon as
I turned them on zap, and the sound was magical removed.

Best regards
Brian
