You gave us a tfmx file which plays just fine. The file in the uade123 -v dump is not the same. Have you tried these:

http://hangar18.campus.luth.se/exotica/tunes/unexotica/games/R-Type.html

There are bad rips and players out there. Test the unexotica versions and report here. I noticed that the TFMX version you provided was buggy, but the one on uade rsync server plays fine. Haven't tested darius zendeh songs yet.

Did you try the files at unexotica?

The TFMX files plays right. The MKII File is the problem. In Windows the Eagleplayer plays the file.

btw. that file of yours is not Mk2 but Darius Zendeh. Renaming it to be *.dz will make it work.

How can I recognize with Linux that this is DZ and not MKII?

At the moment we do not have a programmed way to detect DZ format, but there is a 68k assembler source in amigasrc/players/darius_zendeh/ dir. The file format is very annoying because it does not contain very readable markers about the format.

I suppose we should implement that in C and add to the file type check routines.

If you have 68k programming skills, you could convert the file detection code from 68k asm to C. Our time is limited, sadly.
