   We need another new MOD player like we need another new Tetris
clone.  We've got just HOW many now? SoniqTracker, Beatbox, ModZAP,
ShellPlay, NTGS (original version that was cool, plus later releases
which sucked), DeskPlay. The reason why there isn't another one out
in the past 6 months is that there are ENOUGH good ones.

   Yet another MOD player is a waste of effort. Do something that
hasn't been done before, and is severely lacking, such as HFS disk
tools or a lot of other stuff. If you must do something with music,
then make a capable music _editor_, not player. Or, a sound control
panel that doesn't suck so much.
