I just cut a release of MikModule 1.4, downloadable from the link above.


It's got a lot of usability fixes and a bunch of new features. For example;

Playlists that it finds at startup are added to the Music menu. Playlists can be symlinks to directories, or flat text files containing absolute or relative pathnames to music modules.

Heuristics added for certain mods - ie, disable panning

better error reporting - when files fail, it says which file failed. It also times out so it's not sitting there waiting for your input.

When more than 8 consecutive errors are encountered in a playlist, it exits out. (just in case you have a completely incorrect playlist)

New visualizers: brightbars, voice dots, with settings to adjust "gain", and color.

Podzilla header bar will cycle through various information about the song.

and lots of other little things.

For what it's worth, it will reliably play about 25-30 voices simultaneously on a Nano. It does play a 53 voice song (7.5 megs) ("littleli.it") mostly well, except for when all 53 voices are in use, then it stutters. It also takes about 45 seconds to decrunch and open. heh.

Enjoy![/list]
