+The default audio/midi player coming with CWMM may be replaced by adding the
+following key to OS2.INI:
+:p.
+:hp2.CWMM->midiplayer-><path to new player>:ehp2.
+:nt.You don't have to provide the full path if the program is in your PATH. The program must be a PM program!
+IBM's ab.exe fails with a 5051 error trying to play midi files. The default internal
+player now works. The only extenal player I know works is FM2play.exe. This only
+replaces the play for Midi files not other audio formats
+:ent.
+:p.
+Even if a new program isn't specified in the INI file the classes improve the default
+behavior by not starting the player as part of the WPS process. So if the player crashes
+the WPS doesn't crash anymore.
