Um... I want to listen to an MP3 right now. A song by Collective Soul,
called "Why". I open the run box and type:
d:\mp3\collective soul
This opens a folder of my Collective Soul MP3s
I scroll to the bottom of the list and find the file "Collective Soul -
Why.mp3", and double click it. Sonique now opens and begins playing the
song for me. It is very, very rare to have to open the application then
the file. File associations mean I can have anything that ends in .mp3
be sent to Sonique to play. You have missed an awful lot in the past 7
years of Windows computing
