Finder-based MP3 files play after switching users
Authored by: leenoble_uk on Mar 04, '04 11:30:36AM

Both Windows Media Player and RealPlayer will continue to play sound outside of login.
The latest version of WMP unfortunately stops when you switch to the login window now. The older version didn't.
I use Applecripts to record certain radio stations at different times and have found that they work more reliably if you leave the login window up. If you log in then the keystrokes in UIScripting get directed to the wrong place if the machine has gone to sleep or the screensaver has kicked in.
The sound continues at the login panel throughout and if you or someone else logs in thereafter.

So, I said ... well, I can't actually remember exactly what I said. But it was one of the most enormously cruel and frighteningly witty put downs ever.
