    MS Windows v3.1 allows the user to play various sound files, and
    audio CD-ROMs. This requires the user to activate the Media Player
    from Windows Accessories Group. It does do the job, but it is a
    plain drab box with very few options. Animotion has changed that.
    They have released a program that any serious user should have.

    MCS Stereo is an excellent addition to your sound library. MCS
    stands for Multimedia Component System. Once started, MCS Stereo
    resembles a complete stereo rack system, right on your screen. It
    allows complete control over every aspect of your sound files. It
    has players for: WAV, MIDI, and audio CD. There is also a slide bar
    sound control to alter the volume of each component. There is also
    extensive on-line help and interactive tutorials, including right
    button context-sensitive help.

    MCS Stereo will come up in two environments: Standard, and Enhanced.
    Standard provides access to all components from within one window.
    Enhanced, provides separate windows for each component, and provides
    advanced sound control and manipulation features. You can easily
    switch between the two by one mouse click. While Standard launches
    all components, you can close those you do not wish to use. Of
    course, if you do not have a CD-ROM drive, you will not see that
    option.

    You can select files to  play, or the sequence of tracks from a CD.
    For those who like to keep track of their music library there is
    mediaLink. MCS Stereo's medialink is a comprehensive tool for
    storing and maintaining all your CD, WAV, MIDI, tape and record
    titles. It generates dBase compatible files to generate detailed
    reports  on your music library.

    Components include:
    Mixing Console -- controls all available input in your PC.
    CD Player -- full featured compact disc player.
    Digital recorder -- play and record digital WAV files.
    MIDI Player -- plays MIDI files.
