Re: [orca-list] orca and rhythmbox

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

I haven't used Rythmbox for quite some time.  Have the gracking of 
listbox items really improved that much? Last time I used it, I had all 
kinds of problems with Orca reading the correct item when navigating the 
left pane and the library listings.  If so, I'll look forward to playing 
with it as it has a radio station deal in there; it reminds me a lot of 
Itunes.

My other question about rythmbox is "How does one seek around within a 
playing track? With mplayer and totem, you can simply use the left and 
right arrow keys.  I couldn't do that with rythmbox.

Thanks for the update.
