Re: Accessible platform for distributing audio files

Lucy,

You said in a separate email that you were able to move through the
timeline in the google player. Using NVDA and Chrome I did not find the
keystroke to do this. When I landed on the timeline and pressed the right
or left arrow it took me to the next file. Can you tell me how you moved
through the timeline?

(In response to Brandon's suggestion about YouTube - I think restricting
access on YouTube is more difficult than for drive, as far as I know.)

Thanks,
Howard
