MORE INFORMATION
EZSound FX is an application that adds additional sound functionality to Windows 3.0, 3.0a, and 3.1. This package includes ability to play and convert WAV, SND, VOC, ROL, NXT, SVX, MAC and several other sound formats, a sound file editor, a CD player, and the ability to assign sounds to system events like resizing a window. EZSound FX supplements the original sound functionality that ships with Windows Multimedia Extensions 1.0 and Windows 3.1 when EZSound FX is installed with them.
