THE AMOS MUSIC PLAYER - BY BOUCH
© 1991 DAVID BOUCHER - RIPOFFWARE SOFTWARE PRODUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
~~~~~~~~~~~~
GHETTOBLASTER is a music player for AMOS format music files, it's
designed to be simple to use, easy to set up and above all, FLASHY!
USING GHETTOBLASTER
~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Simply double click on the program's icon and wait until the
program displays it's "select a tune" message. All other instructions
are in the program.
If you want to add a tune to GHETTOBLASTER's list then there are
some restrictions:-
1-The tune must be in AMOS format. If it is a GMC,
Soundtracker or Sonix tune and you have the AMOS
package you can convert it. See your AMOS Extras
manual.
2-The tune's name must must have the AMOS ".abk"
file extension, also it must not contain any full
stops other than the one in the ".abk" part.
3-The music file must be placed in the ":TAPES"
directory of your GHETTOBLASTER disk.
AAARRRGGGHHH!!! IT'S GONE WRONG
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~
While using GHETTOBLASTER you may get an error message if
something goes wrong. Don't Panic! The messages are self-explanatory
but just in case you don't understand something here is a brief
explaination:-
COULD NOT FIND "TAPES" DIRECTORY - The program needs it's music
files in a directory called ":TAPES". Go to the CLI and create one.
COULD NOT FIND ANY MUSIC FILES - What use is a music player
without any music? put some AMOS music files in the tapes directory.
You've already done that? Then are you sure it's named correctly? See
the naming restrictions, above.
COULD NOT FIND MUSIC FILE - GHETTOBLASTER could not load the
music file you selected. There are several reasons for this. Have you
taken out the disk for instance?
NOT AN AMOS MUSIC FILE - GHETTOBLASTER can only play AMOS
format music files. Although other formats can be converted, see
above. Also if the music bank is saved along with other AMOS bank (eg
sprites) in the same file the program will not load it. The bank must
be saved separately.
