You betcha.  For those wondering why they should get it, here's a partial
feature list:

o Second-generation self-synching loop-mode swapper with DOC caching support
  for sound every bit as good as ShellPlay (better in some cases).

o All supported effect commands are interpreted correctly, as per ProTracker
  on the Amiga.

o There are 3 new player modes, which include several kinds of o'scopes.  Note
  that MZ's code supports a background picture behind the scopes, although due
  to lack of artistic talent I didn't put one in (anyone?).

o You may now access your Classic Desk Accessories from inside MZ, such as
  Ensoniq Peeker and What's Up DOC?.  

o Now supports 5-octave MODs created on IBMs and other non-Amiga machines
  (not supported in any other IIgs player at this time!).

o Stereo Mixing now works fine, and Full Stereo mode gives you a special
  higher sound quality (same as the -S200 option in shellplay 0.71).

o Compatible with GNO 1.0 (Jawaid worked around this in 2.0 anyway, but it's
  still nice to have).
