I got it working, I had to cut off my strings that were playing on beat 4 of
the last measure of the intro. I put a call to unload and download there
and a call to play on measure 9 beat 1, so there's a quater note rest before
the normal music starts.

Its failing consistently on my AMD 800 w/XP Pro, while my AMD 1G w/W2kSP3
plays it fine most of the time. When it fails, a second call to Groove1play
a moment later (through a DMDemo button) always works.

started doing it that way. oops :)

some music that has only common instruments and try to unload an download
during that segment. Unfortunately I didn't write the music that way this
time.
