I think we've gone over this before; FOLKS, there is more out there than
DMCS and AmigaVision that support SMUS. Instant Music, Music-X, Dynamic
Studio. Many piece of Amiga software have "import" facilities that make SMUS
a fair (and well documented, 3rd-party independent) Amiga platform.

I'm not familiar with the SoundTracker format. Indeed, I've never heard of
it. What I'd prefer to hear is what would you improve about the SMUS format?
It's not ideal, but it IS extensible and it is in the public domain.
Commodore has published a PD SMUS player in past Amiga Tech Journals,
although it's a simple one that doesn't support in-track chords.

Before we go campaigning for new music formats, at least make sure there's a
PD SMUS conversion utility, a well-published developer's guideline, and an
attempt at making the spec IFF-compliant.
