Greetings,

Looks very interesting, if it is stand-alone and enables us to stop using
WinAmp, Windows Media Player VLC Media Player, good, I'm definitely
interested. If it only works as part of a browser such as MicroSoft Edge,
Crome or whatever, yes, I am still interested because of it's apparrent good
accessibility functions.

I am interested to hear from any who may have given it a try. I wonder if
it works with Guide Connect? How about specialist equipment some use such as
Braille Sense and the like?

AccessPlay is a new, fully keyboard-accessible audio player extension for
Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. It replaces the default browser audio player with
a faster, clearer, and screen reader-friendly interface.

audible, Spotify, and Apple Music.
