How to preload sound files

[Phil Davis]

Hi Peter,

Another approach is to load the files as URLs with the 'load' command, 
then set the player filename to each loaded url in succession. I don't 
know how the transition speed would be, but at least the player would be 
dealing with preloaded files. It might be fast enough.

I would probably use 'send... in' to run the loading handler, so I could 
make it load the next file only after the current one has started 
playing, but before it has completed.

Of course you might need to unload them too.
