===== STORAGE MANAGEMENT LOADING ON VARIABLES =====

==== PURPOSE ====
 This example shows how to make ugBASIC understand the memory needed for the various elements in the storage, without defining them.  

==== SOURCE CODE ====
   
   GLOBAL track
   
   STORAGE "disco" AS "disk1"
   	MUSIC "example.mid" AS "track1" TO track
       MUSIC "what_a_wonderful_world.mid" AS "track2" TO track
   ENDSTORAGE
   
   PROCEDURE example ON ALL BUT COCO, COCO3
   
       DIM song AS STRING
       DIM songName AS STRING
   
       DO
           CLS
   
           PRINT "SELECT A SONG"
           PRINT
           PRINT "1. Example of song"
           PRINT "2. What a wonderful world"
   
           INPUT song
   
           SELECT CASE song
               CASE "1"
                   songName = "track1"
               CASE "2"
                   songName = "track2"
               CASE ELSE
                   songName = ""
           ENDSELECT
   
           IF songName <> "" THEN
               DLOAD songName TO VARPTR(track)
               MUSIC LOOP track
               PRINT "... press any key to stop ..."
