5audio file known by OS/2. The usual play
6controls are available and you may create
7playlists just by dropping files into the folder.

10but shadows are created.
11A new shadow class shows you details information
12for the linked audio files in the details view of a
13Media-Folder.

15A WPS enabled CD player with FreeDB support is included.
