If you find any bugs, please report it to me via Internet e-mail to franke@stanfordalumni.org or via ΓÇ£snailΓÇ¥ mail to:

Please check the Q&A topic before reporting a known problem. Also, please feel free to write if you have any suggestions, questions, comments, or inquiries concerning my plans for future versions. I do read every email I receive, but due to the volume that I receive, I cannot respond to each one. If you are aware of a sound format that youΓÇÖd like SoundApp to support, please e-mail me with the necessary information regarding the sound format and any sample files you may have. Since SoundApp is Freeware, I cannot afford to support proprietary sound formats that require a licensing fee (unless youΓÇÖd like to pay for the license!).
Please spread the word about SoundApp and upload it to any on-line services and bulletin board systems that do not already have it.
Licensing
If you or your company are interested in licensing the playback and/or conversion routines in SoundApp, please write me at the address above or send e-mail. SoundAppΓÇÖs routines are already used in several commercial products. Licensing is for non-exclusive rights for your product(s). Custom modifications can be negotiated if desired. In addition, I can license a HyperCard-compatible XCMD for MS ADPCM and IMA WAVE playback for use in cross-platform products. Note that the MPEG decompression code and the MOD drivers cannot be licensed from me.
Potential Future Additions
ΓÇó Support the Carbon architecture
ΓÇó Support for streaming MPEG playback (e.g. Shoutcast/Icecast)
ΓÇó Support for more MOD formats (e.g., 669, XM, compressed IT)
ΓÇó Support for other sound formats and various compression schemes
ΓÇó More output formats and encodings (e.g., the new QuickTime 3/4 codecs)
ΓÇó Even more AppleScript support (any ideas?)
ΓÇó Message/text/title reading in MIDI, MOD and MP3 (ID3 tags) files
ΓÇó Level meters for playback
ΓÇó Better support for conversion using the AppleScript range parameters
ΓÇó Update the GUI to support the Appearance Manager if it is present
