Ack, ick, etc, etc.  Ian how could you?  Of course sT got better references
than MZ because it's the latest version released (not including the one a
AEW) with all the bug fixes and the buzz fix.  If you released thelatest of MZ
(was it 0.9?) it probably would have similar good references.

I know sT got a cooler interface, but that's just the interface. Back over
Christmas, I did some headphone testing of sT and MZ and found that MZ has
the overall best psycho-stereo-acoustic effects. Shoot in MZ, the music sounds
alive like inside a concert hall (aside from the buzz and deaths on certain
MODs) whereas sT played everything fine but had a flat sound.

ShellPlay doesn't even do psycho-stereo-acoustic effects.

If I had a choice between a player that had better sound and a player that just
looked cool, I would pick the one with the better sound.  That's why I use
ShellPlay more often than sT.  It basically sounds better (although the
interface sucks).
