Hello,
I've been trying to set up the Audio module to run on my website. I'm currently using Drupal 5.7. However, I have discovered that the built-in players that ship with this module are inaccessible to screenreaders and therefore, as a blind user, I can't access the audio that I upload, nor can any other blind visitors to my site.
I am particularly looking to add audio posts to my blog.
My question therefore, is there a way that the audio module can instead generate a playlist file like an m3u file, that would open in the user's player of choice?
Kind Regards,
Stuart Lawler.
Hi, as I am visual impaired, this is very cool. I don't know how to generate playlist, anyway I used the mediadisplay module and cck media display, in order to make a form where the user can upload its audio files, then with litle adjustment in php you can display each files with own properties. I installed the Audio module, but I wasn't able to see the player, and this is strange because also if flash player is inaccessible, I should see some words as "start flash" or "end flash", so I give it up.
Anyway, Drupal 5 is one of few cms really accessible for blind people also from an admin point of view, including all the administrative tasks. I didn't try drupal 6, I think that drag and drop with blocks will generate lots of problems. Bye.

Hi Simone,
I agree with you, Drupal is really really accessible and a very nice content management system to use.
If there was a way though that I could get my audio files to play I would be very happy!
Regards,
Stuart.
