1. Programm description

Random MIDI Player (RMP)  is useful utility for playing MIDI
files  (.MID, .RMI).  It is very easy to use. You don't have
to create  any MIDI collection.  Just select  directory tree
with your  MIDI files,  RMP then searches  through directory 
tree and loads  all available MIDI files.  Then it starts to 
play  them either randomly or  in sequence according to your
configuration.

You can choose  if you want to search through subdirectories
and if you want to start  playing  immediately  after end of
search procedure.

You can easily select  out good  MIDI files.  Just configure
"Save directory"  option  to  your  favorite MIDI  directory
and if you listen to good MIDI file press button "Save file"
and currently playing  MIDI file will be copied to your MIDI
directory.  You can fasten this operation by selecting "Play
just intro." feature in predefined intro length.

What more?  If you  are bored  with repeating  the same MIDI
files again and again you can disable "Allow song repetition"
feature and you will not here any song twice.  After playing
all available  MIDI files  in predefined  order RMP will ask
you either  select another directory  or play all MIDI files
again.  It is up to you.  With this feature I'm able to play
my  collection  of  almost 10000 MIDI  files  (500 hours) in 
almost 500 subdirectories  without getting bored of repeated
songs.



2. Windows NT limitation

Application works OK in  Windows 95,  but if you want to use
Windows NT,  you have  to start  RMP with starting direcotry
set  to  your  MIDI  files  directory  tree,  because during
programm  execution  you are  not able  to use Browse folder
function  which  is  implemented  in  Windows 95 only. Other
possibility is  to use  Windows NT 4.0  or  Windows NT  with
Shell technology prview from Microsoft.  Or  simply register
(pay $10 US)  and  I will  send  you  full  function version
which works under Windows NT without any limitations.
