3. Using TFMXcess

TFMXcess can be invoked in several ways:

In version 2.4, TFMXcess will no longer pass parameters to existing instances, it also will not try to detect existing instances.
This removes the possibility of accidental kills, but it also means that you can have as many TFMXcess instances active as you like.
Only one of them can be in control of the player process at a given time, however.

After you have started TFMXcess, you should see a window like the one below (with your theme settings of course):

In this case you see that the file /home/neo/tfmx/turrican2/mdat.Turrican2_2 is currently loaded and being played. Also you can see the current subsong (7), bits per sample (16), frequency (32 kHz), oversampling (active), channel separation (Stereo) and tooltip-settings (on).
Version 2.1 introduces drag-and-drop for local files. You can drop any TFMX songfile in your filesystem onto the main window to play it. Remote files, however, are not yet supported.

The interface should be pretty self-explainatory, but there are some things you might want to know:

You can get several TFMX files from Rudolf Stember's Homepage.
