I cannot imagine using my mac without this. The throttle hold itunes puts on sounds is horrid. When I switched to OsX in 2002 the loss of just playing a sound via the finder was a huge problem for me. Ever since Play Sound came out I've been a happy user.

Just a note to those who don't know it, hit command-. to stop a sound if you need to.

I've never had a problem with this player. Thanks again.
