Please note that MPlayEdit is a commercial application protected by copyright laws. It may be registered at PalmGear for only $10.
A Trial version of MPlayEdit may be distributed with the M.Play MIDI player for PalmOS devices. This is differentiated from the commercial version by its limited functionality.
The following steps demonstrate the application's usage:
Platform
Currently MPlayEdit runs only on Win 9x/NT platform.
Unfortunately as we do not have a Macintosh we were not able to publish a version of MPlayEdit for the MacOS. Similarly for the UNIX platform. Sorry.
Installation
Firstly, decompress the .zip file that you have downloaded from the internet. (Get
WinZip)MPlayEdit may be started by double-clicking on its icon.
This is the Start Screen of the MPlayEdit application. The text box in the middle of the screen allows the user to enter in the name of the MIDI library about to be created. Clicking on the "Next" button shall bring the user to the next screen where this new MIDI library's Playlist may be edited.

There is no pre-set limit in the commercial version.
Add a MIDI Sound Track
Here we have selected a MIDI sound track for conversion. Do remember to save the MIDI sound tracks in Format 0. For more information on the limitations in the sound playback on PalmOS hardware please refer to Mplay.htm
View Playlist
The MIDI sound track has been successfully added to the playlist of the new library being created. The MIDI file's name, location and duration are all displayed on the screen for review. Clicking on the "Add" button shall repeat the process of adding MIDI files to the playlist. By selecting any of the MIDI files shown and clicking "Remove", the selected file shall be removed from the playlist.
Saving the Library
When the user is satisfied of the number of new files added to the playlist of the library being created, clicking "Finish" shall save the library and exit the application.
