List of what's new shamelessly pillaged from posts on this forum:

- 7Zip archive support.
- HivelyTracker (HVL) and AHX support.
- Sega Saturn (SSF) support.
- Shift-JIS encoded Japanese metadata in files is properly displayed as Japanese characters instead of garbage
- .SPU rips are supported (it's a PS1 log format somewhat popular in Japan that the Eternal SPU plugin for ePSXe can output).
- Support for pretty much every ST and Amiga subformat the SC68 engine supports, including Future Composer, SIDMON, various custom formats used by David Whittaker and Jeroen Tel, and many more. Kickstart your collection here - there's a 25 meg .tar.gz with compatible music in 50+ subformats, and in the meantime the current AO will play the SNDH and SNDH-ICE compatible songs that are in there \:\)

Feedback welcomed.

I love the new icon! I didn't hate the old one but this new one is better.

Unfortunately I have little interest for the new formats included, so I can't help you with bug reports for them.

Here is a Windows version.

This contains everything Richard mentions above, plus rewritten timing for PSF/PSF2 files. The PSFs I was pointed to as playing too fast are now at the same speed as in Highly Experimental.

The core DLL is built with a different compiler now (MSVC instead of GCC/MinGW) so be on the lookout for weirdness that didn't exist before (I've smoke tested all 30 formats).

Speaking of PSFs, did you guys happen to find out why a small amount of PSFs were playing silence?

Also, any progress on certain ADLIB files? I'd love to be able to play Wolfenstein 3D's music (from the Martin Fernandez zip on the chiptunes site).

Investigation of broken PSFs continues, but it's the very definition of tedious. It's believed related to someone abusing bugs in Highly Experimental's core again.

Wolf 3D's music works for me. Try these:

Huh, this is weird... when I play those Wolfenstein files I get no melodies, just a few spaced out, random computer notes. Here are two samples I recorded:

(Keep in mind I'm using the OS X version)

Channel mutes field has some text corruption:

[Linked Image from img171.imageshack.us]

SSF player ignores time tags (heck, every format does that).

The time field near the Save Clip button doesn't show anything other than 00:00:00

Adding a file to the playlists (whether drag'n drop or opening) stops the playback.

S3M loader doesn't handle files with Adlib Instruments
