.imf player?

Post by Deltamatic »

I tried playing Keen soundtrack .imf's in Windows Media Player, but unsurprisingly it didn't work. Is there some program out there I can download to play .imf's while I multitask?

Yes, I have it, it runs in dosbox.

Unfortunately I don't know the name, but you can find that sort of stuff over at the wiki!

It's brilliant! Source?



Converting to midi is terrible, the distortion is... ugh. Adplug/Winamp will do you fine.

I use Adplug with Winamp, 200000 KHZ, 16 Bit, Highest settings, sounds so good. I converted the Duke Nukem 2 IMFs to WAV, great stuff

Two hundred thousand kilohertz? Really, 48000 Hz should be plenty, and most sound cards don't support higher anyway.

Anyone ever see ads for those 'special' audio cables? The ones with gold contacts (Reasonably sensible business), doped copper/aluminum (Okay...) or 'vibrationally enhanced' (You didn't even BOTHER to try fooling people, did you?) I've been plagued with them. Apparently some spambot thinks I'm both a music freak and stupid enough to fall for that stuff.

Sorry to nit-pick but most sound cards that are "HD Ready". In other words any sound card that identifies itself with "High Definition Audio Codec" uses PCIe and supports up to 192kHz (even motherboard integrated cards).

So what's the deal, can anyone really hear a difference?
If i play an mp3 on my laptop I can even tell if its 320kbs or 128kbs.

Maybe it's just psychologic, people seeing that number, and automatically thinking 'wow, 192k is such a high number, I really feel this has to sound better'
