Thank you for downloading FoxPlay 98!
------------------------------------

FoxPlay is a new program for Windows 95, 98 and NT 4.0.  It is best
described as a Music Frontend and Playlist Organizer.  Here's what
it does:

* Plays MIDIs natively, and plays MOD, MP3, and RealAudio/RealMedia
  files via external players. 
* Can run and close your external players automatically!  
* Handles a virtually unlimited number of files! No limits aside from
  how much physical disk space and memory you have. 
* Simple to set up! Just run the program and follow the simple Setup
  Wizard. 
* Intuitive Graphical User Interface makes using FoxPlay a snap!
* Provides TRUE randomization of your files - No repeats unless you
  ask for them! 
* Built-in support for mIRC gives you the ability to share your files
  and Playlist information with people all over the world! 
* Revolutionizes the CTCP SOUND standard being used for IRC
  Multimedia. 
* Create new playlists and even import information from other peoples'
  playlists with the touch of a button! 
* Automatically or manually request files from other users.
* Remote-Control mode allows you to play what other people are playing!
* Jukebox-style requesting allows users to ask you to play a particular
  file at any time. 
* FoxPlay Auditioner makes it easy to evaluate new files before adding
  them to your Playlist. 
* The Queue Manager allows you to arrange your queued files in whatever
  order you want, shuffle them around, and even load and save them
  to/from disk! 

FoxPlay is designed to act as a Virtual DJ for your system, providing
you with hours and even days of background music while you work or
play.
