Actually, Tapin Radio and RadioSure, though similar, are *NOT* the same. 
If system Access doesn't work with a particular program, that does not 
mean that other screen-readers won't. Both players work quite well with 
JAWS and window-eyes and, that I know of, in the case of TapinRadio, hal 
screen-reader from Dolphin Computers (Supernova) as well. (NVDA, too, I 
believe.) Some of the keyboard shortcuts, for example, are different, 
between one and the other. One advantage of such a player is that you 
can launch it from your desktop, without having to go onto the Web or 
visit a Web portal, and then play anny  station (if available).

 If you're experiencing difficulties at the time, Try going into the 
system Tray and you'll see either the RadioSure icon (station playing) 
or, in the case of TapinRadio, that for the TapinRadio icon; and 
right-click or left-click as you would any other program via the system 
Tray. Also, there is a spoken help item in TapinRadio: Press F1 and then 
arrow to it.

So, anmybody interested, chill out and enjoy! many blind users on 
another list I frequent do use, enjoy, and find TapinRadio 
accessible/usable.
