  7. Under Netscape options, select "save options".
  8. Quit and restart Netscape.
  9. Now whenever you download a MIDI file, Netscape will automatically launch A.M.P. and play the music in the background so you can explore Cybertown.

Note: You must have Quicktime 2.0 and Quicktime Musical Instruments loaded as extensions for this to work. Also be sure to set the A.M.P.'s preferences to use Quick Time Musical Instruments.
