          download

        - Online help. Press F1 in any dialog.

        - Many bug fixes.


Features:
---------

        - Small, medium or large dialog settings available (double-click
          on museArc logo on main screen, or enter the museArc properties)

        - display of 4DOS file descriptions (DESCRIPT.ION files)

        - Context menus on main screen and in list editor (click right
          mouse button)

        - Context menu + text scroller if window is minimized

        - Task bar icon + task bar playback controls (on systems with task
          bar)

        - Buffer size selection (0.75 - 4.00 seconds)

        - museArc supports all MPEG 1/2 audio layer II and III audio 
          streams including low sampling frequency streams.

        - Multiple track playback.

        - Editor for track lists

        - Full 'Drag and Drop'-support.

        - 1:2 and 1:4 downsampling support.

        - Three quality selections for playback available.

        - Three audio card control methods available: timer, device callback,
          thread loop.

        - Can be used like a CD-Player. You can select your favourite tracks,
          edit the playback order or use random playback and save the track-
          list for later use.

        - On a 100 MHz Pentium, museArc consumes 35-55% CPU time at full
          playback quality, so museArc can easily play music while you are
          working on other applications. (Note that the wide performance
          range results from the quality differences of certain system
          components [motherboard, sound card, hard disk ...] )

        - Can be used as a helper application in your webbrowser.
          (See the documentation of your webbrowser on how to add a helper.)


Future plans:
-------------

        - Webbrowser Plugin support for streaming playback.

        - Direct download support (URL) for audio files.
