My WebTV Plus has IE and some sort of Firefox too
But it has audio that I’ve heard many Firefox and other software is limited on or cannot handle
About 3 years ago MSN added a .zip plugin software update and my WebTV handles .gz or .zip on .mp3, .wav, and .midi compressions and they sound just as good as the original but cut filesizes from 6%-95% on various format music and load on my 56K dialup much faster
No “Windows Media Player” opens on my (Microsoft owned since abt. 1997) WebTV
A “slide-up” tool gizmo appears only if I hit my “Options” buttom while an audio is loading or playing - Stop - Pause - Play - running digital clock
Pretty nifty gadget
WebTV Plus receivers seem to be much superior and more advanced than PCs for music
And just adding a quality amp and great stereo speakers will shake the glass on cars driving by 5 blocks away
I can add a new hi-def monitor to my WebTV in about 1 minute
That would also update the TV picture quality and the text on the internet too - It all is run thru my WebTV receiver
Maybe a bit later

But you aren’t able to save music to a hard drive and ‘have’ it there. I can also burn to CDs or DVD.
An animation stopping for a minute is of little importance usually.
The main thing is that you love what you have and are able to do amazing graphics.
