I tried the version from http://www.virtualapple.org/ on Virtual ]
[ without issue.  I cannot test on my //e since it is 2 floors below
me and I'd need a very long serial cable to use ADT.

However this works:  http://user.xmission.com/~egan/burgertime.wav

Just connect up your smartphone to your cassette in-port, set the
volume to high (iPhone tested), boot your //e without a disk, ctrl-
reset, and from the ] prompt type: LOAD and press enter, then load up
that URL and play it into your //e.  It will autorun when done
loading.  NOTE: if you do not hear a beep after the audio file is done
playing then it got hosed.  E.g. mail or other notification probably
played into the audio stream.
