Someone responded to my original appreciation of Music Work's
modification to the Control Panel's volume control by indicating that
"... (such was a prime example of how NOT to do something, since they
could have monitored the setting of the Control Panel's volume control,
making their's unnecessary) ..."
Well, although I don't represent Music Works, I can certainly understand
why a user of the program might enjoy having a volume control instantly
available while running the application, rather than having to fire up
the Control Panel, since different musical selections might require
volume modification.
But, the entire point of my comment was lost: Regardless of the "right
or wrongness" of using your OWN volume control (not to be determined
here), once that decision was made, their treatment of the "removal"
from the Control Panel was WELL DONE!!!! and shows some of the
inventivness and personal expression available on the Mac!
