These music files are run by double-clicking on them
after !ExSound has been seen. The songs do not
contain their own built-in samples and must load
them from where they are stored within !ExSound.
The samples in !Exsound.Notes are those required to
play these songs, and these songs ONLY. To play
other tunes, locate their samples and drop them into
the Notes directory. You can now play the song by
double-clicking on it. Check first, however, that
none of your sample files will overwrite the ones
already there. If they would, make a new copy of
!ExSound and empty the notes directory, then put in
only the samples you need for that song. Before
playing a song, you now double-click on whichever
copy of !ExSound is appropriate.
When playing particularly large song files or ones
which require lots of samples, there may be a delay
while !ExSound figures out how much memory the song
requires. Once it has done so, it will display the
variable(s) which need their values changing. These
will be songspace% and/or soundspace% found in lines
2 and 3 of the program !Play. Increase these values
to those indicated and try again. You may be advised
of a further increase, though it will take less than
a second to reach this conclusion in my experience.
I have never encountered a song demanding more than
three increases, the second two of which were
instantaneously requested with no delay involved.
If you get bored waiting for a song to start, press
shift to abort.

!ShutUp is an application designed to fade out the
music currently playing. It takes up the smallest
WIMPslot possible and quits automatically once the
fade-out is complete. Just double-click to use.
Tunes can be stopped dead by *RMKill ExSound.
