fast tracker 2.06 has a free stereo diskwrite in it. that will definitely suffice for diskwriting .xm's, and will be ok for .mod's (not all, mind you). impulsetracker 2.14 has a free mono diskwriter in it (which will play .it and .s3m if not fully, at least properly), but you'll have to pay for the actual stereo diskwriter (mainly because the author believed that stereo diskwriting is mostly for commercial projects anyway, and thus it wouldn't do to give it out free). you can bypass this limitation with a few ways. either you grab modplugplayer (which will play 95% of the effects right most of the time), try out winamp (which will play 75% of the effects wrong all of the time) or sneak a warez version of the stereo diskwriter. fast tracker 2.06, impulsetracker 2.14 and modplugplayer are easily available thru http://www.maz-sound.com (ft2 and it2 from trackers, of course, and modplugplayer from the players-menu) http://www.modplug.com is the actual homepage tho.

right, also i'd like to point out XMPlay 1.50 on maz-sound.com which plays XMs perfectly 99.3% of the time (it also plays other formats well, i think, though i've not tested it much), and has a wavwriter. the only difference i notice is that it widens the stereo a bit. but dont use Winamp. you'll be sorry. of course use fasttracker 2.08 or 2.09 for perfectness. ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

One more option, if your favorite sound program doesn't have the option to write to WAV you can use TotalRecorder. Anything that goes through the windows sound system can be recorded to a WAV file. It's pretty cool, and useful for say, recording a RealAudio file to a WAV - especially if you can't download the RA file. The only problem is, the shareware version is limited to 30 seconds, you have to register for $10 for the full version. And no, I have no affiliation with TotalRecorder, I just think it's a cool program. =) - Bobby
