I love listening to SNDH chiptunes on my Atari STe but it recently occurred to me that many didn't understand which player to use. Here are four fantastic Atari ST/e GEM programs to play your toons.
There could be more lurking within the archives but these are the four I enjoy using for different reasons. The last one I usually use when I'm writing on my Mac! My greetings and all credit to the people who made these superb programs. Okay, all links are included and I hope you find something here you enjoy...
~~ JAM ~~Quite possibly the most well-known of all the players and deservedly so because it's brilliant with a modular design to handle a wide variety of file formats. It sounds great but looks rather plain jane. Thankfully, there is also a version which doesn't use GEM and is far prettier. (download)
JAM never ceases to impress with massive versitility and capability.
It might look ugly in the 4-colour medium resolution but I like this program and it sounds just dandy. I found this to be a reliable player and it looks best in Low/High resolutions. (download)
I love using SND_Play and it's such a sexy looker in ST High.
~~ GEMPlay ~~is a "Lite" version of YesCREW's Falcon player. Some features are removed because the ST/e has no DSP Processor but it plays SNDH tunes perfectly fine. It's another program that proves how ugly ST Medium is so I recommend Low/High resolution! (download)
Once again, another beauty that plays your tunes perfectly.
~~ KrapSNDH ~~Such simplicity. Set it up as an Application for the .snd file format within GEM. Now double-click any sound file for instant play. No fancy interface but it's fast and a great player! (download)
Ignore the look. This is simple and works like a dream. So fast, I use it all the time.
