I like to do unexpected things in meetings to liven things up at times. Sound effects like a game show BUZZZZ can be hilarious if your timing is right. I wanted a quick way to launch into an app that would let me play any wav file in a directory with minimal keystrokes while controlling the volume. Again, timing is everything, right? So, I wrote this script. Enjoy.
It launches into a directory you choose as default but allows navigation to other directories. Escape will terminate a long playing file if it needs to be killed early.
