This file gives all the information needed for those who want to send songs to ASMA archive. If you want to send me some tunes, they should be already converted to SAP format and should include all the information needed (author, name, date, number of songs). If you're unsure about any information needed, you can send me the music as well, maybe we can find the info together. If you don't know how to create SAP files, send me the binary file with the INIT and PLAY addresses and memory location where the tune has to be loaded. See Sap.txt for SAP format description. File formats accepted ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SAP - already created SAP file CMC - Chaos Music Composer CMR - Chaos Music Composer with alternative notetables (Rzog's) DMC - Doublespeed Chaos Music Composer MPT - Music ProTracker MD1+D15 - Music ProTracker with one 15kHz digichannel MD1+D8 - Music ProTracker with one 8kHz digichannel MD2+D8 - Music ProTracker with two 8kHz digichannels TMC - Theta Music Composer TM8 - Theta Music Composer dual POKEY configuration (stereo) Benjy Soundmonitor AMS Information needed (or welcome) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Author of the song - Name of song - Date of creation or copyright date - Number of subsongs/default subsong For SAP files this information should be already included in the header, for other fileformats write it into a separate textfile. STIL information ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This information is not essential but if you know anything of these, please send it together with the song. - Name of covered song (plus album) - Name of the interpreter (singer, band) or composer If the song is a demoparty music compo contribution, send us the name of the party (including year) and the final standing of the song (only for songs that ended at 1st, 2nd or 3rd place). Again you can write all this information into a separate text file. Examples: Digital_Trash.sap TITLE: Domino Dancing [from Introspective] ARTIST: Pet Shop Boys Desastre.sap COMMENT: 2nd place at Intel Outside 4 music compo. SAP header conventions ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The filenames must not be longer than 26 characters (plus .sap) e.g.: 12345678901234567890123456.123 Intel_Outside_Fractal_Part.sap - all right Jocky_Wilsons_Darts_Compendium.sap - wrong! Because of compatibility reasons only characters 'A..Z', 'a..z', and '0..9' can be used in the filenames. All spaces must be replaced with underscore ("_"). The dash ("-") is also allowed but from no reason we don't use it :-) All tags in SAP header must be UPPERCASE (e.g. AUTHOR, DATE). The field contents must be closed in quotation marks ("). There is one SPACE ( ) between the tag and the quotation mark. Every line in the header must end with EOL ($0d $0a). For unknown information use this mark . For more information about the SAP header see the file Sap.txt. Example: SAP AUTHOR "Marek Badkowski (Bac)" NAME "Deafman" DATE "" TYPE B INIT 0500 PLAYER F092 If possible, send also the original file/game/demo that you ripped the song(s) from. Thanks for your contributions!
