Is there a way to disable the drones so just the chanter is sounded? I know I can turn down the volume of the drones but I need to do that for each tune I'm trying to play, I can't seem to find a way to just turn them off and have them stay off each time I start the player.

Hi
I am just wondering if anyone knows how to contact the creator of this great app and how to make it 64-bit compatible.
I used this for years until my old laptop gave up the ghost, now this will not work on Windows 11. Please help.
Thank you

Dellboy, When I click this one, it gets blocked saying it's a suspicious link and my antivirus doesn't like this idea.
