Drag & Drop
You can drag files either into the list or directly onto the play-

If the file is locked or on a write-protected volume, the information
won't be saved.

DL #1 MPEG Audio Player v1.74
Compatibility
Architecture: PPC
* THE PLAYER REQUIRES A POWER MACINTOSH!!!
* The player is incompatible with Virtual Memory, and may play
poorly with Ram Doubler
* It probably does not work on the 5200/6200
* On low-end PPCs, Sound Manager 3.1 is highly recommended
* Shuffle does not work like normal CD players, it just picks a
random songs, so a song might be picked twice in a row
* The player requires Sound Double Buffer Hardware, if it is not
available on your Macintosh the player won't work
* Sound output should be set to 44Khz/16bit, else it might not play
well
* Certain applications (like ResEdit) seem to disturb the
filemanager. If they are kept open in the background, playback may
suddenly stop. (no crash though...)
* Modern Memory Manager needs to be turned on
* Time values only work correctly with 44kHz files
* On slow machines, don't set the speed to maximum
* MacOS 8 is recommended, the Appearance extension is required on
7.5x
