Suggested corrections and improvements[edit]

I'm not going to touch this myself (conflict of interest), but here are some things to do:

It's not a bundle application, it's an old-fashioned single-file CFM Carbon application. It runs fine in Mac OS 9.
The purpose was to show that a file could be a valid document (an MP3 file in this case) and at the same time a valid application.
The article should mention that the whole thing would have remained completely unnoticed except for the actions of Intego, for which they were roundly criticised.

MWJ had more technical detail, but it's subscription based.
