Introduction
------------
  Passion Audio Player is an Audio Player dedicated to all PC users 
  who have passion with PCs and music. It's my effort to express my 
  passion for PCs and music. It's capable of playing various audio 
  formats such as mp3, mods and of cource CDs. It's playback quality 
  is excellent because it's based on the BASS API which produces 
  excellent playback quality and it's freeware for freeware programs!

    1. AMD PR150 or Better.
    2. 48MBytes memory.
    3. Windows 9x. 
    4. A sound card if you want to here something.
  However, i think that the program will run regurarly on a lower CPU 
  with less memory, but i haven't tested it on such a system, so i can't

  that if you want to use the freedb support feature an internet connection
