Thanks, Corey
All you wrote is real, only my Delphi experience isn't.

What? With a surname like that,
I'd have thought Delphi was in the blood!!
If you have a code to do your suggestion, i'll be
very happy.
TIA

There's part of the problem right there. Using the media player for
anything more complex than playing a single sound is A Bad Idea(tm) in my
opionion.
Have a look at the waveOutXxx functions in the multimedia API. It's not
that difficult to get a sound playing through the APIs, and it'll sound a
hell of a lot better. When you go direct to the API you get a lot more
control - like being able to pre-queue a list of wavs rather than waiting on
one to end before loading the next.
Another option is to create a temporary wav file by concatenating the sound
pieces together to create a file containing the entire string. This is a
little simpler than handling waveOut yourself, and should give approximately
the same results.
