Hi Paul, >> The YACDP program isn't font sensitive. Not the end of the world or anything. I tried the PlayCD program, and it seemed just fine, although I *definitely* don't like its font! << Nobody likes my font… sniff… Look in PlayCDs Tooltype. You can choose the font you like. If you don't specify a font (Put Font and FontSize in brackets) the screenfont will be used. If you define Font=default, the System font will be used. >> But YACDP seems to be the only player that can output over Paula. Yes. Don't ask me about YACDP, please contact the author. >> Also, none of the docs talk about registration and/or price! A bit of a goof, I'd say. << No? Hmmm… Thank you for the hint, I'll change this! The price is 89,- DM (about 50 USD I think). You can order it from Hirsch & Wolf. The Address SHOULD be in the file Contact.doc. They accept Credit cards and foreign orders. And yes, they speak English. >> And finally, the docs say that CacheCDFS will *try* to read Mac HFS discs. I haven't had a problem so far, and my AIFF datatype worked very nicely–the first time I got to use it!–but that cautionary isn't exactly inspiring. << What I mean with this uninspiring words: CacheCDFS was neither designed nor optimized for MAC-HFS CDs. e.g. the caching mechanism is optimized for ISO (Amiga) and RockRidge discs. I added MAC-HFS in a last minute afford to compete with AsimCDFS. At the moment of writing, I only had a couple of MAC discs and very small possibilities to check, if the data I am reading really IS the data you want to read. I converted some Adobe fonts from a MAC disc with success, but I considered this not to be a "proof" of functionality. So I decided to say it the way I did. However, CacheCDFS is available now for about 6 Month and until now nobody has reported problems. Oliver
