Too late, I already tried it. :D Not a bad little program, but two
things disqualify it for me.
1: The afore-mentioned lack of audio CD support
2: The apparent inability to handle compressed wav files 9see
soundamerica.com for an example of what I mean). The majority of my
sound and music files are in that compressed format, and I really do not
feel like uncompressing them at this time.
Also, I could not get the Function-Key controls to work when running it
while logged in via a telnet or SSH session, (though switching the KV
switch over to that system and logging in directly allowed me to operate
the program normally). I'm sure that problem is just a matter of
configuring my telnet client (PuTTY) properly.
I'll keep trying other players until I find just the right one.
