Who said they were not good? Sure there are more TSR players, you should search @ cd.textfiles.com and archive.org. etc.

For the sake of completeness, it is probably worth pointing out that it is fairly trivial even in DOS to start playing an audio CD and keep it playing while doing other things, as that's just a feature of the CD-ROM hardware.

Yeah. The cool thing is that you can start playback in DOS, then reboot the system, enter BIOS and what not, and it won't stop the disc from playing until power is cut. 😀

Uncool thing is it requires you to use the CD drive. If your machine has no CD drive or you don't want/can't burn your musics to a CD, you require a background player. But, yeah, I used to play CD's a lot back in the day too 😉

Me too! Man, this brings back some nostalgia. I used to listen to music on my dads 386, which I think had a single-speed drive installed.
It also came with a cool CD player software, which I still remember fondly. 😄

there was TSR MOD player, you can listed to a single mod music while doing another DOS stuff.
the MOD was limited 4-channel only & max 56 KB in size.

Anyone know the name of this program (or one like it)?
