Windows 95 Users and AudioFS WAV Files
When Plextor Manager 2000 was installed, it automatically made MVP 2000 the
default player for most multimedia files.
However, if you disabled WAV file association in MVP 2000 then there may be a
chance that you are using another player for WAV file playback.

If you are using the default Sound Player installed by Windows 95, please read
further.
•
If you are using another player, you can skip this section.
Windows 95 Sound Utilities
Windows 95 has several utilities that use WAV sound files. For example:
•
You play back WAV files with Media Player (MPLAYER.EXE).
•
You can play, edit and record WAV files with Sound Recorder (Sndrec32.exe).
Apparent Problems with Sound Recorder
Plextor's AudioFS creates WAV files from regular audio discs (CD/DA Red Book
only) on the fly. The typical WAV file size from a song on a CD is about 40 MB.
This causes the appearance of a problem with Sound Recorder.
Here’s why: If Sound Recorder is set as the default player in Windows 95, it
launches when you click on a WAV file. However, it does not start to play until the
entire WAV file is loaded into memory (in most computers, it is cached as a swap
file on the hard drive), which can take quite a long time. In fact, it may appear that
Sound Recorder is not working!
To eliminate this inconvenience, we recommend you switch the default player of
WAV files from Sound Recorder to MVP 2000; or you can select Media Player as
your default player. Either of these utilities will play back a WAV file directly from
the CD drive without having to cache it.
