This project was a result of several head-aches experienced during the first recording of SOAMC= way back in 2007, a good 10 years NAG that I knew I had to get rid of once and for all during the preperation of SOAMC= ENDGAME. Back then, we didn't have any SOTDS system to hunt down files quickly that was hidden inside archives, cd-images, disk-images etc., so we had to use what we could get (and minor variations for different engines) in order to recognize music formats, play them on real Amiga Hardware and record them.
This large bonus project is just one of the side-effects of working on the SOAMC= ENDGAME which are still in progress since April 2018 :-)
1: No .AMP players where stored or hunted after.
2: There will be same versions of the same player engine within certain directories, but thats because I wanted to store also the filename differences.
3: Most players where indeed used in the original SOAMC= project, but some of the ones not used or recorded (due to lack of music available) gives us an chance of hunting down manually tracks-to-fit-the-xxxx-player engine now :-)
4: You will witness the most insane and crazy version naming ever produced in any archive. There is a good evidence of "communication-wasn't-broadband-internet-speed" back in the good 'ol days. You will see larger version happening years before v1.0 along with same versions but different dates, even different filesizes and a whole lotta more wierdness - you have been warned and do not blame me! :-)
5: If you plan to use these files or reverse-engineer something from my archive, please be so kind to at least reference back to this page, so credit is due where credit is clearly earned, respect all the hard work of an crazy Amiga-fan. Nobody else has most likely ever had such an archive at hand or had ever managed to compile one either.
6: This archive also include a recent (one-hour-ago) downloaded full archive of all the Player Engines available at the Wanted Team page. Huge respects for that site and the people behind it (Don Adan comes to mind) working hard to produce the best possible bug-free players in modern times. They deserve alot of credit too. Same goes for UADE player engine archives (but last update from them in 2009).
7: Format of directories are: x.xx_(dd.mmm.yyy). x.xx = version, dd=date, mmm=month, yyyy=year. BTW: I always write my dates dd.mmm.yyyy, why do some people constantly write dd.mm.yyyy, when its VERY hard to know if this date: 2/9-2018 is 9th of Feb or 2nd of Sep. Get my point? :-), yeah I know, Europe, USA, France wth their own standards, but still illogical for a world-wide audience. So, please world, start using "2 Feb 2018" format right now!
8: No ST, SNES, Atari (YM), MP3, MPG related player engines where included, noticed and found, but isn't really Amiga oriented music. Allthough some of them snuck into the original SOAMC=!
9: The Main directories below are created/named by myself. Original filenames of Player Engines where left totally unedited, they appear as found.
Here's a main directory listing (in total 222) of all the player engine and their directories which I have created.
