SPC speed - Version: 2.0, 8/27/2009 05:01PM PST

First of all, just wanted to let you know this is a great application!

However, I've recently encountered some problems with playing back SPC files. Some seem to play at the wrong speed. This is especially problematic for me since I am attempting to convert the songs losslessly to WAV (which is something AO does very well in other fomats).

Also, it seems like a nice feature would be an option to change the sampling rate.

Hope my comments were helpful. Thanks again for the great app!

PSF files play too fast. This is most obvious with music that has unsynthesized audio samples within the songs, such as Final Fantasy VII's song "One Winged Angel." The choir samples are painfully out of sync with the rest of the instrumentation.

Also, it seems that I can no longer toggle on or off individual channels. I've only tested this on GYM, NSF, and SPC files, but they all had been working in the previous version.

I use a Power Mac G5 dual 2.3 Ghz with 2.5 Gb of RAM if that helps any.

Thanks again for making such an awesome app!

Now I can play the majority of files over at Zophar. Ease of use is good, but the "Forward" and "Back" buttons are usually greyed out. Usually it's no problem for me just to click on the next track in the list, though.
