AM/FM Sample Disks cost the same as AM/FM magazine disks. (I.e. 6-issue subscription of AM/FM magazine AND Sample Disks = £36, and so on.) Send your order to: AM/FM Schleppegrellsgt. 10 0556 OSLO 5 NORWAY And make payment to Norwegian Post Giro account no: 0824 0681472. If transferring the money to our Post Giro account is difficult, expensive or impossible from your country, you CAN send the money in cash to the address above. (No coins please). Note: AM/FM does not follow specific release dates. We find the release-date concept rather silly, because all magazines with specified dates are always delayed anyway, as we're sure AM/FM would also be. We will release a new issue whenever it's finished. However, one issue approximately every second month shouldn't be too far from the truth. If you should ever receive a faulty copy of the disk, we will of course replace it free of charge.    INFO TO PD DISTRIBUTORS    Your PD company is welcome to distribute AM/FM and AM/FM Sample Disks, but disks can only be sold with original AM/FM disk labels, which are available from AM/FM and cost £1 each. To obtain original AM/FM disk labels, send your order to the AM/FM address given above, and at the same time, transfer the appropriate amount to the Norwegian Post Giro account no.: 0824 0681472. The labels will be shipped as soon as we have received the order and a notification that the money has been transferred. At the same time, all previously released AM/FM disks will be sent to you. You will also be put on our mailing list and will automatically receive all future AM/FM releases as soon as they are ready for distribution. If you notice a PD company selling AM/FM without original AM/FM disk labels, please notify us immediately.    WANT TO BE AN AM/FM CONTRIBUTOR?    To be able to make the best out of this magazine, we need help, feedback and contributions from our readers - in other words - YOU. We will be delighted for any material, articles, reviews, tips, gossip, music, utilities etc. being sent to us. If we find your material suitable, it will be used for a future issue of AM/FM. Especially musicians are wanted, of course, if you are an Amiga composer, PLEASE send us some of your music, as we would LOVE to hear it. If you include a disk and a reply coupon (return postage) with your text/music/whatever, we will send you the next issue of AM/FM, regardless of whether your material is included in the magazine or not. Don't think that "they get so much mail, they will never even open mine" (which is the case with many magazines). We GUARANTEE that we will seriously review ALL material sent to us. If you wish to submit material for possible use on AM/FM, use the same address as stated above, under subscriptions.   HOW TO FIND YOUR WAY AROUND THIS MAGAZINE   The Sections There are 3 different "sections" in this magazine. Besides the magazine itself, there's the "Utilities section" and the "Music section". You can enter either of these from the magazine's Main Menu. From the Utilities section you will be able to run any of the programs featured on this issue of AM/FM, or read their documentation. You can of course also access the utilities from for example your workbench disk, by booting the workbench disk, opening a CLI or a Shell, and look in the "Utilities" directory of this disk. In the Music section you can play any of the Amiga-only songs featured on this issue of AM/FM, read a bit about the songs and the composers. You can also read about the MIDI music files on the disk. The Text Viewer The text displayer used for AM/FM is MuchMore_pp v2.5 by Fridtjof Siebert. There are many options, like print file, fast scrolling, searching for text etc. To get an overview of these functions, simply press your HELP key now. To Stop The Music If you have more than 512 kb memory in your Amiga, you will be given some background music while you read. (You're probably listening to it now). If you want to stop the music, simply press both mouse buttons simultaneously. To Change The Background Music If you want to hear another song than the default background music while you are reading, go to the Music section from the Main Menu, stop the song that's already playing by pressing both mouse buttons simulaneously, then pick another song from the music menu. Once it has loaded and decrunched, it will start playing, and you can go back to the magazine or the Utilities. Borrowing The Amiga-only Music If you feel like borrowing some of the music on this disk and use it for something else, the songs are all stored as 1mpowerpacked0m (PowerPacker 3.0, copyright UGA software) ProTracker modules in the "music" directory on the disk. Most of the music will be in the form of ProTracker modules, but sometimes they will be in MED-module format or some other strange format. In case of difficulties, read the "About the music on this issue of AM/FM" text in the music section and see what it says about that particular song. Maybe it is created with a music editor you don't even have. If you are planning to use some of the music found on AM/FM for your own production, please remember to clearly include credits to the composer. None of the music found on any issue of AM/FM can be used for commercial purposes or in commercial programs or presentations without the composer being contacted and allows this! If you want to reach one of our musicians, feel free to contact him through AM/FM. Borrowing The Utilities If you want to copy some of the utilities to your own disk, they are all found in the "utilities" directory on the disk. (Well actually they are there even if you don't want to copy them, but never mind.) Feel free to put them where ever you want to, but remember to read the documentation files properly, because some of the programs require additional files found elsewhere on the disk, for instance in the libs: or c: directories. Borrowing The MIDI Music The .MIDI files, KCS files and Music-X performance files are all stored in the "midifiles" directory on this disk.
