Purple Parrot Music Stop is an easy-to-use program for playing your favorite
music CDs and audio files (MP3s, WAVs, and other popular formats). In addition, extremely flexible
playlists can be created to provide hours of listening enjoyment. While music is playing, the
program can reside in the task tray, conveniently out of your way. Hotkeys allow control of music
playback with simple keystrokes. There are, of course, other music players/jukeboxes already available such as Media Player and Real Player.
