PlaySound CMM can make life slightly easier for sound designers, musicians, multimedia asset managers, programmers, music editors, archivists, sound librarians... anyone who has to manage collections of sound files on Mac OS computers.

PlaySound CMM lets you play sound files directly from the Finder, without having to open any application... and then it just goes away... all by itself.

With PlaySound CMM installed, if you control-click on a sound file, one of the items in the Contextual Menu will be 'Play Sound'. Just select 'Play Sound' and the sonud will instantly play, with the standard QuickTime controller bar.

If you let the sound play through to the end, the bar goes away all by itself- no app to quit. Or, you can make the sound go away immediately by clicking outside the bar, or pressing a key. If you want the sound to stay open at the end rather than closing, hit the S key while the sound's playing; or, to loop instead of closing, hit the L key.

You can also use the QuickTime controller bar. The button in the lower left corner alternates between Pause and Play. You can go to any point in the sound by clicking or dragging the small Knob in the long horizontal bar. To go Forward or Back by a small increment, use the two arrow buttons at the lower right. To Scrub the movie back and forth, control-click in the arrow buttons and drag left and right.
