I would be interested in seeing the Access / CID stuff.  That's an
intriguing concept.

As far as playing .MP3's for events, I would recommend having Winamp
associated with *.MP3s, and then just use an item like this:

START c:\sounds\boink.mp3

This should start Winamp and play the file.  BTW, this will also work with
.WAV's although I've found some waves don't work in all players.  I use some
waves directly from ECS, and some I use Windows Media Player to play.  It's
all by trial and error.

As far as playing .MP3s from your audio/CD collection, I'm very impressed
with Muzicman (http://www.muzicman.com)  There are tons of keyboard
shortcuts that can be activated from ECS.  The one problem (and I've asked
them to change their program) is that it uses the same volume control that
ECS's TTS uses so if you mute the MP3 player, you won't hear any of ECS's
TTS.  [Is there anyway for ECS to change the way this works??]

Good luck!

Well I spent 6 hours last night upgrading to 4.4.006 from 4.4.004.  I found
that if I wait too long I REALLY have a lot of updating to do.  Anyway I
have a few questions (mostly to spawn discussion)  But, I have questions,
you have answers. . . .
