Sounds like a great idea. I have a suspicion that in order to improve the media player & functions would require more ram (such as locking/isolating ram into the media player to stabilise it more), but that won't please those that only have limited ram on their systems. Since I am not a LW developer I wouldn't know about that. The closest I've come to it is designing a multimedia player in conjunction with Director with some fancy levels & controls, etc. And that's a long way from ... lol Just a passing thought. Good idea but! Hope the developers take your concept to task!!!

How well do you know Java? (I haven't seen C for a long time lol - in it's earlier times)
