Welcome to The Sound Site CDROM. This CDROM is being offered as a
one-stop shop for music compositions. Basically the contents of this disc
fall into three categories. First, of course, music files. There are no
.WAV, .SND, .VOC, or other digitized music for the simple reason that often
the music is from copyrighted sources, and we don't want to get into trouble.
The music files are left UNCOMPRESSED on the CDROM, to allow people to play
the files directly off of the disc. This feature was inspired by our own
desire to get our massive MOD collections off of our hard drives in a manner
in which they were still nevertheless playable (unlike our current tape
archives).
Second, there are various players, editors, and music and sound
utilities. The various programs are stored in one of a few formats. PC
programs are stored in .ZIP format. Included are unzip programs for the PC.
Mac programs are stored in .HQX format. Unix programs are stored in tar
format. Most Unix systems have untar utilities. Amiga software is stored
in LHarc format, and there are LH-unarcers for the Amiga in the \UTILS
directory.
Third, this disc contains miscellaneous information files such as
MOD lists, FTP site information, and back issues of The Sound NewsLetter.
These are also uncompressed so that they too can be read right off of the
disc.
For more information about the files on this disc and the
organization of the disc directories, check out the files in \00README.
Indexes for the various music files and players are contained in the
directory \00INDEX. Players, editors, and other miscellaneous sound
related programs are stored in the directory \PROGS. Decompression and
similar utility programs are stored in \UTILS. Miscellaneous documents
and information files are located in \INFO.

Loss or damage, such as if the disc self-destructs in five seconds,
or if it morphs into a T-1000 and wrecks havok with your living room, or
one of the player programs accidentally reformats your hard disk, would be
a shame, but not our fault. No pain, no gain.
