Magic Player has three different "modes":
1. PLAYER - In this mode Magic Player lets you take control! You get to control the playback of the song by pressing the keys on your computer keyboard. With every key
you press Magic Player will advance the song by one note, the right note. The longer you hold down the key the longer Magic Player will play the note.
2. AUTO - In the Auto mode, you let Magic Player act like an old-fashioned player piano and play the song for you.
3. STOP - Like the stop button on a tape player, this mode stops Magic Player from playing a song.
The previous section "Getting Started" included a brief tour of the Magic Player and its three modes, but there is much more to the Magic Player! This section covers the various
Knobs, Dials, and Sliders found on the Magic Player.
The Knobs
Song - This knob is used to load a new song into Magic Player. Clicking on this knob will open a dialog box allowing you to load a song from Magic Player's included song library of 24 songs.
Notes & Words - These knobs are used to select what you want Magic Player to hi-light as you or it plays a song.
Rewind - Clicking on this knob tells Magic Player that you want to go back to the beginning of the song.
If you are in the AUTO mode you may want to press the STOP button first.
Movie - This knob will dim the stage and make Magic Player remove its piano roll and replace it with a crazy movie! You'll not only control the music, you'll control the movie too!
The Sliders
Instrument Pickers - Magic Player has two instrument pickers located just above the on-screen keyboard. These sliders are used to pick the instruments that Magic Player will
use. The Instrument Picker to the left is for the Melody or "main" instrument and the Picker to the right is for the Accompaniment or "backing" instruments.
Volume - This slider is used to control the overall level at which Magic Player will play.
The Dials
Tempo - The TEMPO dial is used to control the speed at which Magic Player will play a song in the AUTO mode.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
