`06.Feb.2023`	MP3 player: Reel Deck V1.00 In October 2022 Sami Vehmaa had released a first version 0.60 of his MP3 player "Reel Deck" for Amigas with graphics card (amiga-news.de reported). Now version 1.0 has been released with four more GUI variants and an integrated volume control including various visualization options. The player currently costs two Euros and is primarily intended for emulators or Apollo cards due to the high CPU requirements. AmigaOS 3.x and at least 20 MB RAM are required. (dr) [News message: 06.

`06.Feb.2023`	Text adventure: Developer log to "Pacuvia the Sheep" In a recent developer log entry, Domenico 'Diduz' Misciagna, author of the text adventure "The Daring Rescue of Pacuvia the Sheep" (amiga-news.de reported), explains which problems and peculiarities he encountered when creating the Amiga version in AMOS Pro 2.0: for example, the handling of nested conditions (IF / THEN / ELSE / ENDIF) in general QuickBasic code on the one hand and AMOS on the other hand differed. And even though he didn't need any of the features of AMOS Pro 2.0, he was forced to upgrade from his preferred version 1.3 because the sample bank editor it contained didn't play his sound files without problems.

`05.Feb.2023` nivrig (Twitter)	Music album: "Amiga Collection" by Stamen 'ST Arts' is an amateur musician from Finland who likes to compose melodic electronic music, mainly synthpop and space synth music with influences from the mod/demo scene. Thereby 'ST Arts' stands as a generic term for all his musical work, regardless of genres (interview from 2008). When he bought an Amiga 500 in 1992 and started making music with ProTracker, he gave himself the artist name 'Stamen' and published tracks on Aminet and The Mod Archive. Now he has released the album "Amiga Collection" on the online music service "Bandcamp", which contains tracks from 1994 to 1999 and can be downloaded for a price to be determined by the user.

`04.Feb.2023`	Floppy disk images on PC and Mac: Greaseweazle Tools 1.8 Keir Fraser's "Greaseweazle" does - similar to Kryoflux - read the magnetic information on a floppy disk independently from the format used and saves as much information as possible to generate a so-called "Flux Level Image" in Supercard format (SCP), which enables reading and back-writing of copy-protected disks (amiga-news.de reported) The adapter gets connected between a floppy disk drive - e.g. a standard 3.5" PC one - and a USB port of the PC or Mac. Today version 1.8 of the Greaseweazle Tools was released providing the following changes: IMD: Read & write IMD image files IMG, diskdef: Allow sector padding in IMG files gw read: No seeking to cyl 0 on retry, by default HFE: Fix data rate of FM tracks SCP: Fix checksum calculation, and verify on import (dr) [News message: 04.
