Hello

I have downloaded the .ftm musics from exotica but how do i install them to play on Linux?

I have put them in /usr/local/share/uade2 but it does not work :(

You need the Face the Music replayer inorder to play ftm files. You can donwload it from it AmiNet.

The ftm files should not be installed, but the replayer that you download shall.

There are several ways to make uade2 play ftm files...

easiest for trying out:

as amadeus said: 
1) download the replayer from aminet
2) unpack to a driectory of your choice

... now the console is your friend:
3) invoke uade with: uade2 -P /path/to/your/ftm/player your_ftm_music.ftm
4) if you experience drop outs or slow downs invoke uade with the speedhack switch -sh

argh *typos*

make that: uade123 --speed-hack -P /path/to/your/ftm/player your_ftm_music.ftm

If you want to add the replayer to the know formats, put the replayer into your players dir and you have to edit your eagleplayer.conf and add something like:

Your_FTM-Player         prefixes=ftm     speed_hack

hope it helped :-)

Just a dumb question -- why isn't FTM replay installed by default?

I just checked our compatibility list which says it's buggy. Whether --speed-hack solves the issue is an open question. One version that I have is &quot;deliplagued&quot; which is a reason we can't include it. Maybe someone should reverse engineer PlayFTM from aminet.

I am pretty sure Michael got the sources for FTM, so reverse engineering shouldn't be necessary?

I think the same goes for AProSYS also from AmiNet. Here I got a partial source code from the author. He lost the rest =(

Maybe Michael will write an FTM player then.. Or I might, but not very soon.

no ftm sources here. Only the startup code for the binary only replay (c) by Markt und Technik

And yes the replayer that works is deliplagued

I just gave [url=http://www.aminet.net/package.php?package=mus/play/PlayFTM.lha]playFTM[/url] a look. I mean, how complicated can af 14k program be? =)

It can can be pretty complicated, and it uses audio.device =(
