Hi my fellow Amiga friends!

If you've ever experienced installing Winamp on a PC
you  might  know  that  a  file called 'demo.mp3' is
provided with it and  whenever you start the program
it starts playing the file in a kind of welcoming to
the program. This is what AmigaAMP was lacking. It's
not an important  part really but I thought it would
be  great fun to have a  kind of  similar message on
Amiga too.  Therefor I came up with the idea to make
one  by  myself, afterall  it is  something that one
bored musician can do on his sparetime :)

I hope you like this small thing. All you have to do
is  to  copy files  start.mp3 and start.playlist (or
unpack the whole archive)  to the  program's PROGDIR
and edit AmigaAMP's tooltypes.

This is what you should add to the tooltypes:

PLAYLIST=PROGDIR:start.playlist

Simple isn't it :) And when you start your AmigaAMP
the next time, it will spring  out the message.  It
would  of course be easier  just if Thomas will add
FILE tooltype  in the next version of Amiga Amp, so
that using the playlist wouldn't be necessary.

If you want to,  you can send comments by e-mail to
the address above.

Yours sincerely, Joonas 'Substance' Vähämäki
