Re: [emax] Audition .EM1 files?

If you're using Windows, you could consider using EMXP (freeware, see http://www.emxp.net)
Auditioning is not really supported by EMXP, but you can simply select all EM1 files you would like to audition, and request EMXP to extract all samples of these files to WAV files. This conversion works very fast, so after a few seconds you can find all samples as WAV files in the folder you have specified.
Then you can simply double-click on them in Windows Explorer and your audio player will start playing the samples.
The names of these WAV files start with the original EM1 file name, so you can easily see to which EM1 files the WAV files belong.
This solution is not exactly the same as the "instant" auditioning provided by ChickenSys Translator, which works fine for Emax-II but indeed not (yet) for Emax-I.
But the WAV-conversion approach with EMXP works very fast as well, so it may be an alternative that you could consider. Just an idea...
(It works fine for me but since I'm the developer of EMXP I may not be the most reliable reference :-)
