Clicking on the player window will initiate automatic bandwidth detection and start playback, as will clicking the play button. Playback can be paused with the pause button; clicking the speaker icon near the lower right corner will mute the audio.
   Clicking on the lower right corner of the player window where it indicates "Auto" will pop up a list of encoded bit streams. Any one can be manually selected and played back. However, if a bit stream is selected that is higher than the actual bandwidth available (example: 256Kbps on a 56Kbps dialup connection) then the player will be frequently interrupted by constantly buffering the data stream.
   Clicking on the magnifier that appears in the lower right corner of the player during playback will open a floating, resizable Java window. Right clicking on the player window and selecting "Zoom in" will do the same thing. If the Java window is launched first the player will start automatically.
