I think that its good there is a work around, however I think tabs should
still be fixed, as at the moment it means people are only restricted to one
method.

No the titles on none of the boxes are read out correctly for things such as
wavtrim etc.

OK, the version of the utility I am running is v 1.2.1 is this not compiled
with the latest svn code?
I just redownloaded it again a few minutes ago. I am not seeing any
improvements in the various tts selection boxes in terms of changes and
titles being read.

That is quite possible, jaws does work ok with text boxes.

I had a look at the about box, and I can find the field with the license,
however I can't navigate the license with the up and down arrow keys meaning
that it isn't easy to read it or go to parts that interest you.

I just press down arrow to change the selection in the combo box, and then I
would press tab to go to another control or button after I had set the
selection.

The thing is I already have rockbox set up on my player how I like it, and I
also don't want to muck around with reinstalling the bootloader.
Did you have any particular areas in mind for explanation?
Also, just wondering what is the install utility on player option for?
