ASAP - Another Slight Atari Player
----------------------------------

ASAP is a player of Atari 8-bit music for modern computers.
It emulates the POKEY sound chip and the 6502 processor.
The project was initially based on the routines from the Atari800 emulator,
but the current version has a completely new original emulation core.

The ASAP project includes the following programs:
* ASAP2WAV - portable command-line utility that generates WAV files
* WASAP - tiny player for Windows
* plugin for foobar2000 0.9
* plugin for GSPlayer
* plugin for MOC
* plugin for Winamp
* plugin for XMMS
* Java version of ASAP2WAV
* Java applet
* experimental Java midlet

The following input formats are supported:
* SAP (Slight Atari Player - standard file format for playing Atari 8-bit
  music on modern computers)
* CMC (Chaos Music Composer)
* CMR (CMC Rzog)
* DMC (DoublePlay CMC)
* MPT (Music ProTracker)
* MPD (MPT DoublePlay)
* RMT (Raster Music Tracker)
* TMC, TM8 (Theta Music Composer 1.x)
* TM2 (Theta Music Composer 2.x)

If you are looking for Atari 8-bit music, there is a single big collection
of it called Atari SAP Music Archive (http://asma.atari.org).
