  See the bottom of this page to see which players that has been removed
  as of version 2.11 of APlayer.

  Players:


  Activision Pro:  This player is the same as Martin Walker player. You can
                   get some modules from old Activision games. There can be
                   some  trouble  on  faster  machines,  because the player
                   makes  CPU  loops.  The  player is inside the module, so
                   there isn't much to do about it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  ArtOfNoise:      This player can play both 4 and 8 channels  modules.  It
                   have  some  great effect. It uses noteplayer to play the
                   modules.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  DeliCustom:      Yes,  that's  right.  Now  is  APlayer  able   to   play
                   Delitrackers  custom  modules.  Currently  there  is not
                   support  of  all  Delitrackers global functions or tags,
                   only  a  few. The modules I have, work just fine, but if
                   you  have  a module that doesn't work, please send it to
                   me.  You  can not pack these modules, because the player
                   has to load them as object files.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Delta10:         The  older Delta  modules is  played with  this.  And it
                   supports noteplayers.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Delta20:         Player is inside the module.  It  have  some  nice sound
                   effect.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  DigiBooster:     Plays modules from the new protracker clone DigiBooster.
                   This includes both 4/8 channels and cia timing. It plays
                   modules from DigiBooster 1.0 - 1.5

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  DigitalMugician: Nice player with some cool sound effects. The program is
                   not the most system friendly I have seen.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  DSS:             When you buy the DSS sampler, you will get a  music  and
                   sampler  program. The music program will save modules in
                   this  format,  so  with this player you are able to play
                   these type of modules.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  FastTracker:     I don't  know much  about this  player.  It's a 6 and  8
                   channels  ProTracker player. It  can do the  same as the
                   ProTracker  player, which  means  that it  has the  same
                   commands etc. This player uses a NotePlayer.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  FastTracker20:   This player can play the new format on the PC,  the *.XM
                   modules. The original music program on the PC is made by
                   Triton.  This  player  is coded by Jarno Paananen and it
                   uses a NotePlayer.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Fred:            There is a lot of some nice fred tunes on  aminet,  some
                   of them by Jogeir. There is a player inside the modules,
                   but  I  have ripped one of them and added some features.
                   It  will  ofcourse  use  the player inside the module if
                   it's not the same as the one I know. Currently I support
                   2 different players, which only differs slightly.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Future13:        This  is  probably  the  most  used  type  of modules in
                   intros,  because  of  the  short  module size. It uses a
                   noteplayer.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Future14:        This is the newer version of Future Composer. It can now
                   handle different wavetables. It uses a noteplayer.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Hippel:          Argghh, this is one of the hard ones.  There is a player
                   inside each module, but they are all different.
                   If you  get a Hippel  module this player can't recognize
                   please mail it  to us if you want  APlayer to be able to
                   play it in the future..

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  IFF-8SVX:        This player can  play the IFF-8SVX  sample format. It is
                   the  most used format on the Amiga. It can play any size
                   of  samples  by  loading  a little bit at the time. This
                   means  it  uses  low  memory  while running. It can also
                   handle   stereo  samples  and  IFF-crunched  (Fibonnaci)
                   samples, in both mono and stereo. It uses a noteplayer.
                   See how to configure this player.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  IFF-AIFF:        This format is used on  the  Macintosh.  This player can
                   play  both 8 and 16 bit samples in both mono and stereo.
                   16 bit samples will be converted to 8 bit realtime while
                   playing. It uses a noteplayer.
                   See how to configure this player.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  IFF-SMUS:        This is a very old music format.  The format is designed
                   to  use with midi. This player will only play upto the 4
                   first priority voices.
                   See how to configure this player.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  InStereo20:      Plays the newer InStereo2.0 modules using noteplayers.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  JamCracker:      Is not the most used format,  but  there  is  some  nice
                   tunes   available   made  by  Dr.  Awesome.  It  uses  a
                   noteplayer.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  JCBrooke:        Nothing to say about this player.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  MarkCooksey:     Nothing to say about this player.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  MarkII:          Nothing to say about  this player, except that the  main
                   replay routine is placed in each module.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  MED:             This player has one of the biggest  sources I  have ever
                   seen  (about  80Kb).  This player will play 4 voices MED
                   modules and can handle MMD0, MMD1 and MMD2 module types.

                   Please note  that  if  you  want  to  play  MED  modules
                   containing   synth  samples,  do  NOT  use  the  fastmem
                   noteplayer, since it will skip  all  synth  sounds.  Use
                   instead the paula noteplayer.

                   This Player uses a Noteplayer.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  MON:             Maniacs of Noise have created this player. The player is
                   inside the modules.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  MultiTracker:    This tracker is  a 1-32 channels  ProTracker player. The
                   file format is not the same as in normal mod files. This
                   player uses a NotePlayer.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  MusicAss:        This format has  very  short  modules  with  the  player
                   inside  the  modules.  It will  of course  only use  the
                   player inside  the module  if it is not  the same as the
                   ripped one. Now it uses noteplayers.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  NoisePacker20:   This format is a packed NoiseTracker format  written  by
                   Twins of Phenomena.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  NoisePacker30:   Is a newer version of the NoiseTracker packer.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  NoiseTracker:    Before ProTracker this format was  the most used.  I use
                   the  same  player  as  in  the ProTracker player, but it
                   can't  change  the  CIA  tempo and it doesn't have any E
                   commands   except   for  the  filter  command.  See  the
                   ProTracker description for more information. This player
                   uses a NotePlayer.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  OctaMed:         This player is almost the same as the MED player, except
                   that it play 5-8 voices modules.
                   This player uses a Noteplayer.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Oktalyzer:       A very old 8 voices format. It now uses a NotePlayer  to
                   mix the channels. This player uses a Noteplayer.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  ProTracker:      This format is probably  the most  known  format ever on
                   the  Amiga.  I  use  the  ProTracker version 1.1b player
                   written  by  Lars  "Zap" Hamre/Amiga Freelancers. I have
                   fixed  a lot of bugs (see the history :) and I have also
                   optimized  it  so  it  won't use so much CPU time as the
                   original player does. The  main  optimizing is that I've
                   changed all  the patterns  note periods to index numbers
                   in the  period  tables.  This removed  the routine which
                   searched  for the period in the period tables to get the
                   index  in  the finetunes period tables. This player uses
                   a NotePlayer to play the notes.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  PumaTracker:     I don't know anything about this player.  I  only have a
                   few modules of this type.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  QuadraComposer:  Got the player from the author, Bo Lincoln. Supports CIA
                   and all commands without crashing like in other players.
                   It also uses a noteplayer.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  RIFF-WAVE:       This format is used on the PC. It can play both 8 and 16
                   bit samples in mono or stereo. If the sample is too big,
                   it will be loaded in parts.
                   This player uses a Noteplayer.
                   See how to configure this player.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  RonKlaren:       This player will play EaglePlayer  Ron  Klaren  modules.
                   This is the only type of module which cannot be crunched
                   because the files are loaded as object files.
                   There can be some problems on A4000.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  ScreamTracker30: This module format is probably one of the most  used  on
                   the  PC.  This  player  will  play  that  format.  Jarno
                   Paananen has coded the original player.  I have modified
                   it a little bit,  so it won't try  to play adlib samples
                   There  will  be  silence  instead of some crap sound. It
                   also uses a noteplayer.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  SID:             This play has to use the playsid.library to run.  It can
                   play all kinds of C64 songs by emulating the CPU and SID
                   in the C64.
                   See how to configure this player.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  SidMon10:        Player is inside the module. I have  ripped  the  player
                   and  added  a few features. If the player isn't the same
                   as  the player inside the module, the inside player will
                   be used instead.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  SidMon20:        This is the new version of SidMon.  It hasn't the player
                   inside the module anymore, and it uses Noteplayers.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  SoundFactory:    This player uses a Noteplayer.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  SoundFX13:       This player looks a lot like the SoundTracker player.
                   And it supports noteplayers.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  SoundFX20:       A new  version  of  this  program.  It  now  supports 31
                   samples!! (whauww ;-) This also uses Noteplayer.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  SoundMon20:      You can grab a lot of these (cool) modules on aminet.
                   This player uses a Noteplayer.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  SoundTracker15:  In this very OLD tracker only 15  samples  were allowed.
                   I  use  the  same  player  as in the ProTracker  player,
                   but it only supports the SoundTracker commands.
                   See  the  ProTracker  description  for more information.
                   This player uses a NotePlayer.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  SoundTracker31:  This is also a very OLD tracker but  it has 31  samples.
                   As  always  I  use  the same player as in the ProTracker
                   player.  See that description for more information. This
                   player uses a NotePlayer.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  StarTrekker4:    This player will play the normal  4  voices  StarTrekker
                   modules.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  StarTrekker4AM:  This player will play 4 voices StarTrekker modules  with
                   AM sounds. It needs the extra .nt file to the module.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Syntracker:      Plays Syntracker  modules.  Includes support  for nearly
                   all functions in APlayer, including Noteplayer support.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  TakeTracker:     This  player   is  exactly   the  same   player  as  the
                   FastTracker  player,  except that there is another  test
                   routine.  This  player supports 1 to 32 channels modules
                   and uses a Noteplayer.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  TFMX_15:         This player can play the old TFMX formats. It's a format
                   created by Chris Hülsbeck.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  THX:             A new module format, which sports small modules sounding
                   MUCH like the C64 tunes. The average tune length is 1 Kb

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  TronicTracker:   Nothing to say about this player.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Whittaker:       Player inside the module. The players are different from
                   each other, so you can get some problems.
