and i thought to try it...too.... (maybe not)
the media wars between media player, quick time ,java ,winamp (which i like alot) is a pain in the butt... xp fights you...seems like.
i disable all the operating system sounds...
the beeps~!!!! exclamation sound warning stuff because i simply
hate them... 
i'd rather program in my own signifigant sound for that action...or occurance....it could be a Dolly Pardon fart...
what ever... something natural...
a loon call..maybe
i do it too..
