I see from Tool menu that WAV/MP3 playing can be invoked by rCtrl.

Following R convention I assume this means press LeftCTRL + LeftSHIFT + RightCTRL.

When I do, nothing happens.

If I hold down LeftCTRL + LeftSHIFT and press RightCTRL 5 or 6 times it starts.

This is on an external keyboard connected to my HP portable PC.

[Thinks] How are people going to start this from some portable's keyboards because they don't have a RightCTRL key? [/Thinks]

Once I've started it how do I stop it?

I've tried LeftCTRL + LeftSHIFT + RightCTRL 5 or 6 times but all that does is restart it.

This is important as I started testing this at 0530 and I didn't want to wake Christine.

If I shutdown Z the R button on the Taskbar disappears but the music plays on. I have to restart Z and then it stops.

I would expect two modes for WAV/MP3 playing:

1. Tracking mode where it plays whatever is currently highlighted in Z as happens with all other file types. When you move the Z highlight to a different file it plays that file. When you move off a playable file the playing stops. When you point to a playable file the playing starts.

2. Player mode where it plays whatever is highlighted when playing is invoked but continues to play when the Z highlight is moved.

We only appear to have mode 2 at the moment. I think mode 1 is more important to be able to check the content of a number of files.
