I finally got the english version! The Sound-Trecker V1.0 is a program
to play songs that are stored in a special, compact format. This format
was introduced by the program "SoundTracker" written for computers of
the Commodore-Amiga family. The music has high output quality, although
it is not just digitized, but stored in a compact way as notes. This
approach makes it possible to obtain moderate file sizes (between 50 and
300 kBytes) even for songs which are several minutes long. These music
files are commonly called "Modules" or ".MOD files." Shareware ($30);
comes with C source code and documentation (now you can find out what
"loop suppression" really means ;-)
