Thanks! I appreciate the investigation. I need to mess with Foobar more though I kind of like it, but I'm keeping my options open. Plus I usually install VLC for videos, so it would probably be handy

Pretty much everything with NVDA, save some synthesizers and training materials that go beyond the user guide, is free. Here's focus highlighting. https://addons.nvda-project.org/addons/focusHighlight

Thanks. I'll stick with either Foobar 2000 or VLC then. So far, Foobar is winning, except for all of the customization work you have to do setting up your own hotkeys.

Thanks Joseph! Hopefully this will get some people to try it out. I still wish it would pop up a window for messages, because if I'm away from my computer when they come in, the way I tend to catch th

Really? Do we have a full list anywhere? I called the Microsoft disability thingy and asked about documentation for the new skype, and they never got back to me. That suggests it either doesn't exist,

In the new Windows app thing? Sure. In fact I think it's the only way to use it really.

You can also hit windows-x. Applications and features is the first thing. Pick that. Tab to the list, get to skype, not skype classic but the other one, hit enter to expand, and tab to uninstall.

so anybody got tips for VLC then? I'm sorry, I'm gonna need a little more than play and pause and moving through a file. Can I load playlists? Can I open folders? Can I arrow through a list of files a

Both of those have their own settings, both under preferences I think. If you go in there and check for updates, they should work. It did for Windows App Essentials anyway. I don't know why the automa

Me too, or if anybody wants to gives tips on VLC for audio playback, I can try that too. Gom Audio is gone, I loaded albums into it, it started playing, and then pretty much locked up my machine, or a

Is there no way to set the audio output device? I have multiple sound cards. I don't see one in either the preferences or the context menus.

Well, I'm trying Gom Audio, as opposed to the player because I have VLC for video playback. Any tips on setting it up? F5 gets you to general preferences and ctrl-p plays and pauses, but that's about

No. It crashes. It stops playing audio, Windows says there's a problem and it's going to close the program and let me know if there's a solution. You know, crashing. If it was just stuttering every on

I use VLC for videos, yeah. I'd still use Winamp, if it wasn't crashing fairly regularly. If I knew of some fairly easy thing to try to stop that, I'd install Winamp and give it a shot. But I'm fairly

I see Gom has the player, player Plus which I assume you pay for, and something that's free called Gom Audio. Which one do I want to mess with?

Yes, really. It will be in the middle of playing music, and it will crash. I'm using a minimal installation, no device sync stuff, no Winamp Agent, no library. I have no idea why it crashes and I'm fr

Thanks for all the recommendations. IIRC, since people seem to be really worried about this, I never touch the Winamp library. I hit shift-l and point it at my albums folder. It starts playing but eve

I'm considering it. The only thing I don't like is that it seems to use the alphanumeric keys for typing, no matter where it is, which doesn't make a lot of sense to me. That means you can't really us

Hi all. I'm looking for a Winamp replacement, since it keeps crashing, apparently the amount of music I have is just too much for it. I like Winamp's minimal interface. I don't have to tab all over th

You shouldn't actually need any help, except figuring out where NVDA places dictionary files. Install this on Windows, assuming you're using Windows 10 of course. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/wind
