* Registering MPLAY *

"Hey, do I really have to pay for MPLAY?"

You probably cannot imagine how many hours I have spent developing MPLAY, since it was first released as freeware in 1999. A lot of people told me that I should make MPLAY shareware instead. I looked around and I found Kagi. They handle all the payment details and administration for me for a small percentage of the shareware fee. It’s easy for me, and both easy and secure for people who want to register.

To encourage people to register MPLAY, some features are disabled when you run MPLAY unregistered. These functions are non-vital to the functionality of MPLAY, but they add some extra when enabled. And of course, if you don't register you have to keep pressing the 'Not yet'-button each time you start MPLAY. Needless to say but starting up a registered copy of MPLAY is much faster! Also, future enhancements to MPLAY will most likely be available in the registered version only.

I can't force you to register, but a lot of effort has gone into MPLAY and I hope you will appreciate that. Also, I have set the shareware fee to a minimum, making sure anyone can afford to pay. I rather have many happy registered users, who actually feel they got something for their money...
