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!!)
