I have about 40Mb of MPEG2 music that I play as background music while I work, you see, so for me maplay is more than just a cool app, it's my jukebox! :-) Oh yeah, guess I should also 'fess up and admit that I do run maplay with `rtprio' to run it at real-time priority. It doesn't effect the interactive "feel" of the system at all, but it does prevent annoying skips when I switch virtual screens in fvwm or otherwise do something that might steal a cycle or two away from it. Works great! Jordan
