Please note that this program is no longer officially supported and has been retired. The source code (created in Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition, which Microsoft offers free on their website) remains here for others to learn form or update as they wish.

*Update* Another developer has taken my source code and carried on creating new versions of MTSA. You can visit his forum posts here over at MediaPortal, where you can download the latest version!
