The Apple II doesn't have a music format -- something similar to the AY, SID,
and NSF formats for other systems. Do we need one? Do any emulator coders want
to help design and implement such a format?
The basic idea is that an A2 Music player is an emulator which emulates only
the CPU and sound hardware. The A2 Music format contains a list of code and
data segments which are loaded into the emulator's memory. There is additional
metadata describing the correct emulator settings to use and the music itself.
