Just to let the list know that Steve and I have exchanged a few messages off-list, and I now have an excellent sound effects machine with hotkeys CTRL+F1 through CTRL+F11 programmed to make different instant sounds, and CTRL+F12 programmed to do "killall [something123 varies according to the audio filetype]" music123 can run a number of instances, so simultaneous effects or music are well possible. I'd say it's a sound engineers dream - and I know of nothing in Windows that comes remotely close!!! Also, I'm going to make all my audio filetypes open with music123 .... but then I really like commandline apps. A public thankyou Steve. Hope your cold soon passes.
