Q: How do I load a different CD or reload the current one?
A: Hold down the Ctrl or Shift key and click on the Eject/Load icon (the one that looks like a pyramid with a line under it).
Q: How do I load edit / rename a CD track title?
A: Select it then press Return or F2. (This also works in the play list and file list.)

Introduction
~~~~~~~~
Clarion is a media player for MIDIs and Audio CDs. (The program can also play AVIs, or any MCI device for which you have installed the appropriate MCI driver. However, it's designed mainly for playing MIDIs and Audio CDs.) Clarion is 32-bit and runs on Windows95/NT. You need a sound card and (optionally) a CD drive, of course.
