Seriously, it seems more work than I feel like doing, but I'll do just because I really want to hear how that project would sound after all.
The idea of robotic music be it whatever it could be fascinates me. Smiles.

Marcio,

           What's really peculiar to me is that the quick navigation shortcuts will gain you focus on the various buttons, which I had not tried before because this is the first time I have ever encountered a page where brute force tab traversal doesn't encounter controls in roughly the same order as they're seen on the screen.  At some point I'm going to have to keep tabbing and tabbing and tabbing to see if, eventually, those buttons are traversed.

            Using the B quick navigation shortcut will get you focus on the button, but when I have focus on the button with NVDA using NumPad Slash to left click still does nothing at all.  Neither does spacebar or enter.   However, once I have focus on the button via the B command, if I use NVDA+Num Pad Slash to route the mouse to the NVDA item with focus, then hit NumPad Slash (or left click if you have a prepared mouse or have left your mousepad hard buttons active while covering the tracking area), it works.

             You have to go around Jake's barn, as they say in the region I live in to get it to work, but you eventually can.  But in order to even get to that stage relatively quickly you have to know there are buttons on the page, use the B quick navigation command to get to one, find that spacebar or enter won't activate it, then play the route PC to screen reader focus and emulate left click game to activate it.

              That's more than I'd expect anyone unfamiliar with a page's contents from the outset to ever be able to do quickly and "instinctively."

Using Chrome and the play button, I can move to the button and to other buttons on the page.  Perhaps with Firefox, that can't be done.

Marcio,

          This is a very strange site indeed in that the play buttons do not even get visited when brute force tabbing through the page.   When I looked at the page source, it turns out that they have used ARIA labels for each and every play button for the tracks listed.  For example, the track called Desensitized has an ARIA label on its play button, "Play Desensitized".

          I don't know whether that will help in any way, but it's the best I can do.  I have not previously encountered a music player page where the actual buttons that control play are not visited.

The screen-reader can't work with the search built into the browser.  The page that you are reading is in a buffer where the screen-reader reformats it.

So it's an option that the screen reader isn't able to deal with, is it right?

I was going to suggest that but I was also going to say that, since this is a web page, if you search for an important word, and repeat the search down the page, you may find it much faster than looking through the commands.  For example, in this case, mouse might help you find it quickly.

I don't have a numpad, neither built-in on my laptop nor a USB one, so it's the only way to go, sadly.
Well sometimes I do use these commands, but that's when I have to switch. That's why I said I'm really used to do it :)

Maybe but it doesn't matter if you are using a desktop or a laptop per se.  What matters is if you have a numpad, as many laptops do or many people use USB numpads with laptops.  I don't know how you use NVDA, but for at all advanced users, if you don't use such commands as are available for screen review and working with the mouse, you are losing a lot of the abilities of NVDA beyond a more or less intermediate or not quite intermediate level.

I think it'll be one of the times I'll need to change my layout from desktop to laptop as I am actually using a laptop. Switch between the two layouts is something I'm really used to, but I can't do it without saying that's annoying doing.
If it weren't by the convenience...

Are you using the desktop or the laptop keyboard layout?  I don't know the laptop commands.  In the desktop layout, when you are on the button, stay in browse mode, route the mouse with the command numpad insert numpad slash.  Hold numpad insert and press slash while doing so.  Then left click the mouse with numpad slash.

Do you know how to route the mouse to the play button?  Do so while in browse mode and left click.  This is important to know because many sites have a control or controls that you can't use from the keyboard.  At times, using the virtual mouse won't work either but it often will.

If I press play, nothing happens at all.
So, anyone can confirm this or give me some workaround?
