Re: [chuck-users] minimizing load time for tons of audio

The command-line gui-free approach can be done in Windows also, using DSrender.exe, which "plays" almost any kind of media. Oops, I've been using that for so long I forgot that it didn't come with Windows but was instead a sample app from a book that I read: http://www.microsoft.com/mspress/books/sampchap/6381.aspx I don't know how good an idea this is but I can zip up the 164Kb executable and mail to anyone to try. -Bill
