Better .Wav Playback!
OS : Windows 95 User Level : Intermed.
As default Win95 uses SoundRecorder to play back samples, as you may know it takes an age with big wav files as it has to load ALL the sample in and creates a HUGE swapfile!! If you change the Wav File type to open with Media Player it will stream the audio from the hard disk! To do this Select FILE then OPTIONS in the VIEW Menu on and window, then on FILE TYPES. Scroll down to WAVE SOUND and click on EDIT. Click on OPEN then press EDIT and type the following in the box:- C:\WINDOWS\MPLAYER.EXE. Click OK. Select PLAY and click on EDIT and type the following in the box:- C:\WINDOWS\MPLAYER.EXE /PLAY /CLOSE. This will then associate all WAV files to the media player and you will gain a MAJOR performance increase when playing Wav Files! (Well Large ones anyhow!!)
