I get to do that for only $6...  :\  I could be getting more!  Of course, I
get a tax break and mel doesn't...  :)

No I wouldn't.  Mel got mad at me and I promised I wouldn't release the
player, only ideas...  I've kept my promise...

I posted them to a mailing list called mp3-disc...  Look at www.mp3.com.
There are like 20 players that are all based upon my recomendations and
specs...  :P  I've got toons of site mirrors if you wish to call them that.
I just gave up on it.  If the loosers want to take it, they can have it...
