Threedef Music Player introduced

I received a press release about the Threedef Music Player and have been checking this unique audio player out.  It uses an interesting interface that makes it very easy to browse the music library using a 9-key pad such as those on cell phones.  It's easy to see where they are going next with this player.  This initial release is a Windows program and has some pretty neat features that make it easy to use with low overhead.  The program is available in both a free version and a paid version ($11).  The only difference is the free version will occasionally play a song backwards.  When this happens just press the CLEAR button to go forward again.  Interesting program and I am finding it is great for listening to podcasts.

Well this sounded interesting. Downloaded and installed on 2k and it freezes up everytime I try to load it. Will try it out at home on XP and see if I get any further.
