WIZZPLAY PREVIEW ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ This Program is intended to give you, the reader, a slight idea of what might become the ultimate moduleplayer on Amiga. At the moment, the program is very limited, and doesn't allow you to enjoy all the great possibilities it may offer in the near future. Still, it includes very sophisticated programming mode, with which, you can use as many floppy, hard or memory drives to play your tunes with. For Example : You have to read a book, regardless of the reason, and you want to stimulate your brain with some audial waves while reading the book. Of course, you can turn on the MTV, but when thinking about the massive amount of CRAP-music they are playing these days, you probably prefer your Amiga-tunes to that. Then there is a problem : You have many, many disks filled with your favourite modules composed by the great amiga composers, but there are only a few on one disk. (Reason : The diskspace is limited... at least for floppies) With for example Intuitracker, you can program the machine to play you the songs around and around, but Intuitracker supports only "one-drive-programming" and doesn't have a proper Protracker-replayer. And as you should know, there are many features in Protracker-replaying when compared to the original method. With Wizzplay, you can program all of your 4 floppydrives and even your module-filled ramdisk to work as a big diskdrive from which the player will, in the order of your choice, play the modules one after another, while you are still reading the book and relaxing in your bed. It also includes a DMA-Wait bar, which you probably know if you are a protracker user. If you do not know, what it means, just leave it to the default position. You can always reset it if you (or your littlebrother) accidentally touched it. The program will be refreshened and updated and will have lots of great new feautures - in the near future. More replay-routines will be added also most likely to the first update, as will be also the amplifiers of some kind. Now, after this short manual, here's the address where you can contact the developer of the product. (For bugreports, suggestions, financial aid, christmascards or anything under the sun.)
