To put this in focus, a fully-written CD can hold about 72 minutes of sound, taking around 800 megabytes to do so. Using mp3, that same 800 megabytes would store nearly 14 hours of sound, at the same quality. The trade-off for this incredible compression rate is processor power. However, with the rapidly decreasing cost of processor muscle, mp3 is an important development in audio technology. On to the player.
Installation is a simple matter of downloading, unzipping, and creating a desktop icon.
The full installation is about 360k on disk, including help files. A drag anywhere but the buttons or volume control will move the entire display. Of the options available, Playlist brings you to the playlist editor and Open allows you to open a single mp3 to play. About and Close are fairly self-explanatory. Once an mp3 is loaded, the complete interface lights up.
