+:::::::::::::::::::::::::::BASIC EXAMPLES
+
+You can choose between using RTAudio and PortAudio drivers in player.h by uncommenting the appropriate line.  To use PortAudio, you will need to compile the portAudio library from http://http://www.portaudio.com/ and link it with your executable.
+
+Examples demonstrating different features can be found in the maximilian_examples folder.  To try them, replace the contents of main.cpp with the contents of a tutorial file and compile.
+
+
+:::MAC OSX XCODE PROJECT
+
+You can run the examples using the 'maximilianTest' XCode 3 project provided.
