PT3_Player Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this play on any Apple II?
A. Yes, though you need a Mockingboard in Slot 4 to hear the music.
You probably need 48k of RAM too.
Q: Can you fit more than 18 songs on the disk?
A: Yes, it depends on how complex the PT3 files are.
Also, PT3 files compress nicely and I could fit even more if I LZ4
compressed them, it's just that would make it harder for other
people to use the player.
Yes, I could write code that automatically decode in LZ4 encoded,
but that gets tricky for various reasons, and you also need
some RAM to decode the image into.

Plays Vortex Tracker II .pt3 files on the Apple II
@ -76,11 +76,20 @@ Adding other files
(with often complex, or hard-to find tools) the PT3_PLAYER can in
theory play plain .pt3 files.
To get the player to play them, just rename them to fit the naming
scheme (I think it will just be 00.PT3, 01.PT3, 02.PT3) and replace
the existing files on the disk image with your favorite Apple II
disk tool.
To play your own files, just copy the file you want over an
existing file (using the same filename).
TODO: It would be great if the player was smart enough to catalog
the disk and just play all the files it finds, but that's a level
of disk manipulation I don't have time to mess with right now.
Other Future Plans
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The PT3 format can handle 6-channel songs (which a Mockingboard
can play). I'd like to add support for this, but it will
need some low-level changes to the code.
Code Optimization
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
