I think one possible reason why this checkbox no longer speaks is
because in recent versions of Easy CD DA Extractor there is now a
graphic of a musical note to the left of each check box. I'm sure
the author of Easy CD DA Extractor didn't make this program
inaccessible deliberately. However there is strong pressure these
days to use a lot of non-standard Windows controls to add what is
called "eye candy" to keep people's interest and attention. You only
have to look at how many skins there are to change the appearance of
many programs as well as the large number of visualization plug-ins
for programs such as RealPlayer and Winamp and many others. I think
the real challenge here is to find a way to use "eye candy" and still
make sure programs are accessible.

I can't for the life of me understand why the writer changed the
check/unchecked notification feature at all. It use to work just
fine and it did not do anything bad to the program so why bother
with it. I purchased the program back in early 2000/20001 and that
original version allowed you to just arrow up and down the list and
it would let you know which track was checked or unchecked. In
fact, there was an option in the settings area that asked you
whether or not you wanted to use check boxes or not. With this
checked to yes ensured you would have this data read or you could
set things with checkboxes and know whether or not a track was
selected or not. The layout acts the same, so why not put it
back. I just can't understand why programmers feel they must tamper
with things that work. There is absolutely nothing improved in the
program by making this info ungettable.
I would say to the programmer "put it back and make the program
better for us all."
