HOW DO I EXIT???

Look at the pictures below. I stuck it on a menu that is launched from a button with a GEARS ICON on...

What is the difference between ADD+ and OPEN
Add+ Adds files to the current playlist
OPEN Opens a playlist (.m3u) file.

Don't get it wrong... as opening a music file by mistake in the OPEN PLAYLIST dialog hangs the app... - FIXED in V1.1

Are there any demo tunes?
Yup, a procedurally generated one via csound, a gentle remix of Cyra morgan (by twobob) and a chopin piece by Brad Hill. and Dance Cleopatra from this album by ZamalSka

DOES THIS WORK ON A PAPERWHITE???
Err. No. Amazon has neutered all devices later than the Kindle 5 as far as sound is concerned.

How do I get up the menu thing at the bottom?
Look at the 4th picture I posted. It's that button.


GOT ANY MORE FREE TUNES FOR ME TWOBOB?
well since you ask:
FILL YOUR BOOTS (558MB - 52 free tunes)

And I shoved two bonus tracks in a zip for ya too...
(One of which is used to demo out radio equipment world-wide)


Version 1.1 fixes all known bugs. (and adds jack backend support FWIW)

Enjoy.
