I think all modern machines should be able to cope with ease. By modern
i mean hi-end pentium class or higher.

The only proggy i would recommend for playing multiple MP3's is winAMP
ver 1.6. (newer versions don't allow you to- but please correct me if i'm
wrong). Check the checkbox labelled "Allow multiple instances" or something
like that. It'll allow you to open multiple winAMP windows and you can
play an Mp3 with each, assumming your soundcard is able to.

This way I can play 4 mp3's on my IP188MMX + Gravis UltraSound PnP
w/  RAM.

I recall the MonsterSound could do multiple digital audio streams as well,
but
i think (but not sure) it's done by software mixing...

To Mark: UltraSound PnP/PnP Pro's are now dirt cheap. Probably the
cheapest way to get multi-wave playback. Have a look around.
