Thanks - actually that's what I'm doing now.  I use MCIWinCreate to open the
files in separate TStreams, and start them when I'm ready.  It's really
awkward, and I'd really like to play them from memory.  I just don't know
how to tell MCIWinCreate to use a memory location instead of a file.

Thanks for your interest.
