Re: Accessible platform for distributing audio files

Hello,
You can also upload the audio files to Youtube and just make a list of
links with the embedded frame at the bottom of the page. Jump focus to a
heading above the frame when the user clicks the link, or have a global
pattern of k for pause and have the videos play when the user clicks on
them. That would allow one to quickly go through the audio files without
needing to click on the link, hit play, find their place again and repeat.
Thanks,
