Gosh, the first screenshot took me back. The MIDI player was part of a set of apps that came with the SoundBlaster 16 that stacked together like hifi separates. There was a CD player and a WAV player as well. Haven't seen them in, oooh, 25 years.

Oh my god, memory unlocked for me as well. I remember playing around with all the instruments. I must have been no older than 4 or 5.

A CD player, a Wav player... and a remote! They came also with later Creative SoundBlaster cards, I had that on my AWE 64 driver disc.

Somehow, your first sentence sounds to me like: "An iPod, a Phone and an Internet Communicator!" - gosh, already more than 15 years. I'm getting old.

And yeah, I also remember the SoundBlaster cards. I really like them.

The remote! How could I forget the remote!
