Dave, The files in the Audiophile DL are not "programs" per se; they are in fact data files. As such, these files _must_ be used with a music program (Music Studio, in this case) to be useful. Though I have not scanned the music DLs in the last week or so, I am not aware of any stand alone _music_ programs, with a few special exceptions. We do have some BASIC programs which play their own preprogrammed music, some programs to generate special effects and noises, and a sound digitizer demo. Instant Music is a tricky case, since you are limited by the built-in programmed structure as to what can be composed, and I am not aware of any IM files in our data bases. Keep in mind that there are now _two_ audio DLs… one for data files (music and instruments) and one for programs. Be sure to check them both when looking for interesting material! Nybbles, Rick
