But how do you get the variables (data, fulllen, etc) into data.swf that

the player requires?  I think they must be created by some (undoubtedly

proprietary) program based on the music to get the info for the

equalizer, so just using another plain music swf wouldn't work as far as

I can see.  (Den Ivanov, are you on this list?  Any enlightenment?)

Same with the players.  But the new loop page format (loops by category

or by author) is fantastic compared to the original!
