Interesting. MPXPLAY uses the general ra
Thanks for your answer, Eric.
I tried disabling CDRCACHE, but it didn't make a difference. It's a pretty
low-end laptop, so I wouldn't be surprised if the CD drive was too slow. I
actually wondered about that after I sent the email.

Let's see... to play audio, a CD drive has to read at 1x. I doubt
the drive is too slow. It should be possible to have the hardware in
the drive play audio, but if it's extracting data and playing through
the sound card, that's going to take IDE, memory and I/O bandwidth,
and that could easily

Yep, I looked in the manual and there are actually several options to do
that. -db will open a regular MPXPLAY... window, or whatever, without the
file browser, and then close when the playlist/files are done playing; then
there's another one, I forget what, that stops it after a certain number of
