- It played rhythm.is.a.dancer ok for me. The key thing is that it
- will not play MODs where the _samples_ add up to more CHIP RAM
- than you have available. Which is slightly better than any other
- player I've seen, which won't play MODs where the whole file is
- larger than the CHIP RAM you have available.
-
- In any case, most of the huge MODs I've seen are exactly the type
- of massively sampled trash that people have been complaining about
- here. You can hear what those are worth just by using play590 to
- play the entire file as a single sample... :)
-
- The module "hitmen" is a perfect example of this. 612KB, and it
- sounds fine played as a single sample.
