Here's a 20-minute tutorial In which I demonstrate how I use #Suno AI to cover/remix my tracks in new ways. A few people have been asking me to show this because the website's a little incomprehensible, so I thought I would do a bit of an explainer.
Here, I'm using NVDA screen-reader in windows with Google Chrome.
If you are attempting this on MacOS, you will likely have to interact with the item and move over to the play button before being able to do VO+Space to play your item. If you don't, nothing much happens.
In all other respects, MacOS works very similarly to windows, so you should be able to follow along with this demo successfully.

NVDA 2025.1.2 has been released: nvaccess.org/post/nvda-2025-1-…
This release fixes a crash when opening certain Microsoft Word versions before version 16.0.18226.
Also, a reminder that if you have downgraded from 2025.x to earlier versions, your profile may become corrupted. This can cause your profile to be reset to factory defaults when you update again, but NVDA should work correctly after that.
