It works, at least with a sound blaster card. I have tried it with Damp only, for some reason mpxplay won't work in a window. All I get is a whishing sound from the speakers when it is playing a mp3. Anyway, the first think that is needed is to go to www.drdos.org and go to the faq section, look for the question on using sound cards in task manager and download the sound blaster driver. Right now the driver only supports int 5 and 7. Edit the taskmgr.ini file to add the driver, there are instreuctiuons in the doc with the driver, and also edit the foreground/background ratio in the intial file. I have a pentium overclocked to 180 MHz and I had to set the ratio to 1. If it is to high the MP3 player will work ok as the foreground task but will pause and skip as the background task. start task manager, make your windows and start Damp. It should play ok in the background, if not readjust the fg/bg ratio. You might also need to change the serial port timeout so your serial port won't timeout. MP3's play pretty well on my machine in the background except when I use a proccessor intensive task then they have a tendency to skip a wee bit. Probably to only way to overcome this is to get a faster processor. But it is pretty cool playing MP3s in the background while I work on something else.
