Player is a system extension that runs in the background as an invisible application--it's always there waiting for commands, even though it isn't visible in the Application Menu at the top right of your screen. Any script can tell Player directly to do many of the commands it is capable of:

tell application "PreFab PlayerŞ"

< commands to do>

end tell

Player's extension of AppleScript's English-like syntax makes scripting much easy to learn than the specialized (priority) languages used by most macro utilities.

The 30-day PreFab PlayerŞ demo is available on the PreFab demo page; purchasing information is available on the Player order form page; it currently sells for US$95 + shipping. There's also a Japanese version and a British distributor. The demo includes the scripting addition app menu that allows applications to be selected directly from the Application menu in the upper right-hand corner of the Mac (used in most of these scripts).

There is also a runtime version of Player that costs US$25, and will let you run any scripts containing Player commands without having the full package.
