				| First off, great app David..glad to see good tools being brought out. 
 Next, I tried the player (not with any CDs) but just PSG playback...after loading the AlienCrush.psg, all I hear is garbled noise.  Any settings on the player we should know about?
 
 System specs below:
 
 Dell Precision WorkStation 530 MT
 Duel Intel XEON 2.4GHz
 2GB RAM
 SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio
 XP PRO w/SP1
 DX 9.0a

				| I have made a new version : 
 http://www.magicengine.com/player012-english.zip
 
 I have completely rewritten the synchronization function, now even if something goes wrong the sound engine should re-sync and continue to play the sound normally. In the previous version if things went out of sync the engine would not always re-sync. Finger crossed!
   
 Let me know if it works better.

				| Yes!   
 Could someone test with some CDs too?
 PC-Engine or audio CDs, both work.

 For  my side :
 Pce Cds , PcFx Cds and Audio Cds play fine since the first version while Psg files are playing smoothly since .0.1.2  only.
 Maybe you could make the player generate a .log file like ME does for acccurate reports concerning users configuration
  ? 
 Also being able to use the player as a background activity while doing other stuff would be very nice .

				| Mindblowing. I'm listening to Babylon 5 right now   
 The PSG engine is flawless and the CD digital playback works perfect. If MagicEngine is going to sound exactly like this, I'm out to buy a pile of Kleenex boxes straight away
   
 [Edit] David, could you please log the first level of Aero Blasters and the main theme of Devil Crash? They are very good tests for noise and PCM channel respectively.

				| Yes. Personally I would like Military madness's title song as ( the 'almost old' ) Magic Engine had problems with it... 	  | Quote: |  	  | David, could you please log the first level of Aero Blasters and the main theme of Devil Crash?
