Audio w/o Quicktime on PCs

[cteno4]

Thanks Signe Marie,

I was hoping to use the player since its a cross platform disc and wanted 
things to function the same on both sides (as advertised in the mc and 
rev documentation). ill give the mcisendstring a whirl. i need to do a 
call back at the end of the audio file (which i do with the player) and 
it looks like i can do with the mci string if i keep checkint the lenght 
with an mci call.

does the call "status myaudio length" give the amount of time left in the 
audio file or is there another command that would give the current point 
in the playing. also what happens with a time call when it reaches the 
end of the wav files. if i use send calls to keep checking if the file 
has finished i would need the time call to end on something like either 0 
or the final lenght value.

thanks mucho,

jeff
