Well, blind people use devices (such as Braillenotes and Braille Plus) that can only understand mp3 and wav and such. They can not understand embedded objects; they need to use grab-tube.com or other similar site to watch Youtube, because Youtube is embedded media. Stations like klulz.com play perfectly because of their pls use. Tyler Z On Tue, 19 Jun 2012 21:29:33 +0100, andy butler wrote: >Tyler says > >>.
