Hello Marco,
I usually use Media Player Classic Home Cinema (MPCHC). A fairly user-friendly player and well accessible for using with NVDA. Good luck to you! |

I know Winamp is widely used and is accessible. Other players are as well, but I'll let those who use them discuss them. I usually use Winamp. I'll tell you why I use Winamp in general and other list members may describe which players they like.

When using NVDA, you don't have the time marker feature JAWS incorporated for use with Winamp. But there is a utility made by the late Carlos, who is much missed, that will allow you to set time markers with any screen-reader or even without one. It is completely independent of and doesn't require a screen-reader be used. Then, there is a plugin I use for slowing down or speeding up the speed of material. It doesn't keep the pitch constant, it slows down and speeds up speed as though you were using a variable speed control on a tape recorder or record player. That plugin is very useful to me. I digitized a lot of tapes and my tape recorder was running a little fast. I slow down the speed of the files when I play them in Winamp. They must be certain formats or the plugin doesn't work properly. I know MP3 will work, There may be others but I don't know what works and what doesn't. Gene -----Original Message-----

Greetings. For me -- and many others, it is Foobar2000 all the way. I switched from Winamp which is no longer being developed other than the leaked releases which circulate around to Foobar2000 which is equally low-resource and quite well-maintained. Everything is customizable in Foobar2000 and that might also be its foible as you need to define your hot keys first. But once you do it, you can't be happier. Foobar2000 support is also mentioned in NVDA's manual.
Best, Amir |

VLC, and with the VLC Accessibility Enhancement Addon, it's a joy to use!

Foobar all the way for me. I don't care for vlc although I have and use it for some things, but it's 99 percent foobar. It's scriptable, can do a lot with and without foobar add ons, and the keys can if needed be made global. -- Sarah Alawami, owner of TFFP. . For more info go to our website.

However unless you have a place like winamp heritage or my winamp to get plugins or chipamp, then winamp aint much good. Its nice for streamers and the like though to be honest chip files are what its geared towards now. Some say xmplayer works though not tried it. A lot of die hard chippers on a chips folder I am in swear by foobar which I have not bothered with. Vlc is also another player that works. Kmplayer works but I have never tried it extensively. Windows media player can work, media player classic and new media player classic home cinimar do work but only doodled with basic classic player. One thing to note, you may want something like codicguide.com's mega klite codec pack so you don't have issues with codecs and the like, vlc is all codecless as its internalised stuff.

I know it's not strictly speaking necessary to use an add-on for VLC to do what I want (except for some of the dialogue boxes), but isn't this addon incompatible with the latest nVDA? Or has it been updated...

More programmes should have foibles like this one It does seem to present a challenge for some though, or maybe just ore time than some are willing to put into setup

I will often praise foobar for audio playback, but, old habits die hard, and I also use winamp for most audio needs to this day.

That does sound like a good plugin, the variable pitch one... I don't think it's enough to make anyone switch but it's worth noting that VlC can do this natively/without plugins. Not sure if there is a hotkey pre-set for it though like there is for the compression feature (iE, decreasing speed without changing pitch etc). I use VLC for video playback, and for some audio formats that Winamp doesn't handle very well (some audio and video formats, Winamp cannot index properly, which means you can't really fast forward or rewind through a track) -----Original Message-----

It should be noted that the accessible version of the plugin, the older one, causes NVDA to crash unless you unselect it before closing the program. I believe that you have to set it every time you use it, which is an inconvenience but not a major one.

I checked. You have to stop play, unselect it, then close the program. Trying to resume play after unselecting it makes the program crash as well as does trying to play a new file. Its an inconvenience but I don't use it much and it’s a minor one for me.

I use winamp for a lot of things but my chip formats have not changed in ages and ages.

There are a few things that winamp can't play but to be honest most chip stuff I get are remakes and mashups usually in mp3 as well as cross over chips. I like the interface of the winamp program to. Winamp is still aparently being developed but with its parent company becoming shoutcast, who knows. Its not been updated but winamp is on shoutcast's main page as a link, so its probably a given they havn't given up on it. However, winamp at least the version going on is wacup, or winamp community project, which is 5.666 with extras. To be honest though unless someone can revive, and update and add new things to a plugins database winamp is pritty much useless. The only reason I continue to use winamp is that I have ahd it since 2000 and have built up a stash of plugins and configurations I wanted to use. On 24/09/2020 11:43 am, JM Casey wrote:

Not that many new non-streaming media formats under the sun, for audio at least. Winamp as a video player isn't very robust. -----Original Message-----

I use both PotPlayer and iTunes. PotPlayer is quite accessible now, from my tests. I also use Foobar, but mainly for converting iTunes m4a files into mp3 files.

Well not sure about pot, but yeah, itunes has some good points.

The chief among them is the use of gracenote which is really cool something in a hurry itunes will do it for me. If I want to buy something I want and can't find it other places, then itunes will have it. Right, so the biggest issue I have with itunes then is that it seems to add its own markups onto prices of things I know are cheaper in other digital stores. That and the fact the icloud app secures part of itself so system restore just doesn't work with it and no, I can't find any way to make that go away. There used to be a way but I can't find now now.
