[installation]
_____________________

1] unzip ALL files to your root mIRC directory
2] type (in any mIRC window)
::::[[[     /load -rs mp3n4.ini      ]]]:::::
3] choose "Yes" to run initialization commands
4] follow the on-screen instructions for setup




[known issues]
_____________________
-the timer will screw up when it gets to over 10 minutes
-timer is not completely accurate (its within a few secs by the time a song finishes)
-apparently for some people, adding a ton of files at once (like over 1000), using the
 add dir button can be slow. what you can do is add all your files once, then save them in a
 playlist and when you want to load them all just use the load playlist option, which is
 pretty much instantaneous. frankly i dont have this problem and i'm on a very mediocre
 computer...so who knows.
-using the fast forward or rewind option can screw up the timer as well
-when adding a directory, a blank line is placed after the last song.  this can screw up
 your playing when playing random files, however some people seem to like the blank line
 since it helps keep everything organized, so i didnt get rid of it.  every now and then
 when playing random files you'll get a message like "* /splay: invalid parameters". just
 ignore it and hit play again :) i might fix this later on...you can also just remove the
 blank line using the Rem File button

-cosmetic improvements to gui
-volume control removed (who needs it? nobody. thats who.)

-fixed problem where if you were using continuous play and closed
 the gui, mp3n would not play the next song
-timer now pauses and resumes when you hit pause or resume from pause, respectively
-fast forwarding and rewinding should now be (a little) more accurate with respect to
 the timer
-fixed a little bug when that occured when you removed a single file

[other notes & useful info]
_____________________
if continuous play is checked, mp3n will play the next song in your list 
when the current song finishes, and will continue to do so until you stop it

if continuous play and random are checked, mp3n will just keep playing random
files until stopped

if random is checked, mp3n will play a random file from the current playlist, 
even if you double click on a file in your playlist

if you get an error like
* /splay: no such file
that means the file has moved or for some very strange reason cant be found by mIRC
sorry, but theres nothing I can do about that :(

if you get an error like this
* /splay: unable to play
there is something wrong with the mp3 file you're trying to play.....it can
be found, however it may be damaged or corrupt for some reason (nothing i
can do about this either)
