What about placing shortcuts to the wav files on your desktop and assigning a shortcut key stroke to kick off the file?

When I'm not doing the 9 to 5 thing I volunteer my time to host a radio program that covers a wide variety of blind related issues. The station is not net based and therefore I am not using Shoutcast. Simply put all of my broadcasts go from an analog board directly out over the airwaves. While the majority of my shows are prerecorded which gives me the ability to place nutty sound clips or effects after the fact I am planning on doing some live broadcasts. My plan was to plug my computer directly into the board and turn it into an instant replay machine which would give me the ability to play clips or sounds on the fly. I use winamp as my default player and am running Jaws 7.0. I guess I could just create a play list of clips I want to use on the fly but having to arrow through a list and select the sound I want to play seems like a bit of a pain. If I could trigger each sound clip assigned to individual hot keys it would be a cleaner and quicker approach when accessing the files. You had mentioned that assigning hot keys to specific clips may be something that could be accomplished with scripting. That's a most interesting idea. If you have any further input on how this could be accomplished please let me know. Feel free to contact me off list if you like. Thanks, Jay Hi Mate, Tell me more about your Broadcasting set-up. If you are using Jaws, this could easily be done with scripting. I am guessing you are using Winamp and the shoutcast plugin with one sound card using the what you hear as the input? Greetings folks, I am seeking your input with regard to accessible instant replay software. I host a humble little radio program and would like the ability to instantly play a few wacky sound effects on the fly. I am seeking a program that would allow me to line up 5 to 10 short sound clips and play each clip at the push of a button. For example, if I had ten sound clips each clip would be assigned it's own hot key. Every time I hit any one of these ten hot keys the corresponding clip would instantly play. In the old days DJ's used to use cart machines and today use digital jingle machines to accomplish this task. While some of these digital devices are semi accessible, most are ridiculously expensive. After consulting the net I noticed that several companies sell software that simulate cart machines or today's digital equivalent. I downloaded various demo's of this type of software only to discover that nun of them are even remotely accessible with a screen reader. If anyone knows of a program that would allow me to play sound clips at the push of a button, or has a solution to my inquiry, I would appreciate your input.
