Hi List,

There is a partial solution to the Winamp Library difficulties present in Winamp version 5.2 final release.  This solution is for JAWS users, but I believe the same basic principles perhaps the use of the hotkey for MSAA or virtualizing windows may apply.  But for JAWS users, here is the detailed solution:

1.  Run Winamp, open the library if not already open with alt + L, navigate to the online media/Shoutcast radio tree branch;
2.  press insert + Z (JAWS key + Z) to turn on the virtual viewer;
3.  route JAWS to PC, press left mouse button (numpad slash);
4.  press the up arrow key a line or 2 until you start hearing references to radio stations;
5.  route PC to JAWS and the web interface will gain focus;
6.  you will be placed in a web page like interface that navigates very much like a standard web page;
7.  you can use JAWS quick keys to move to the search field to search  for key words and press enter and then move down with the H key for heading to focus on the search results;
8.  you can go back up and search using the combo box for genres and change the genre or you can also search by clicking on the alphabetic references and you will get all references beginning with the chosen letter.

Note, while this method gives basic accessibility, navigation seems sluggish and I have actually had a few spontaneous crashes while using the routing process of the cursors.  I don't know whether these crashes are actually related to the procedure or not, but it's something to keep in mind.

Perhaps fine tuning the scripts for Winamp might streamline this procedure.
