mplay version 0.45 ;Initial public release
              0.47 ;Added DOC file generator and file

Installable by CLI on Mac (see below)

See LICENSE for license terms

Command "mplay" by itself gives summary of command options.  A summary
document is in DOC.txt and the newest features are described in
NEW_FEATURES.txt.

Also read mplay itself which is highly documented Tcl code, if you can
do that.

Install Tcl if your system does not already have Tcl.

1) place mplay (Tcl program) into ~/bin (or other suitable place)

2) add ~/bin (or other) to path by adding line
    export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
   to file .bash_profile (or other startup file) in home directory

3) Customize companion scripts as needed

   makeMusic
   makePix
   makeVideos

I use similar scripts to make playlists for Roon, Phoenix Slides,
and VLC respectively.

4) Place companion script(s) into ~/Desktop.  Bring up File Info on Mac
   and set default application for each script to Terminal.

5) Click on companion script icon to execute, then execute media
   program to play them.  (Roon auto-recognizes .m3u playlists where
   it looks for music and adds them to "My Playlists", Phoenix Slides
   can browse to the fake directory of links created by mplay, and VLC
   can be set to open a playlist file when opened.)

6) Give CLI command "mplay" for basic option documentation
