MAMP supports a lot of different filetypes, it's small ... fast...
generally nice :)

+ Same functionality for DOS , Win32 and Linux (If you used any version - all looks the same!)

Q:Why MAMP produces noisy sound?
A:It's simple - see this table: Type max Hz/mono max Hz/stereo 16 bit support
Type Max Hz:Mono Stereo 16 Bits SB 1.0/1.5/2.0 22-44k - no SB Pro I/II 44100 22050 no SB 16 and higher 44100 44100 yes
So - You need at least SoundBlaster 16/compatible to hear sound without noise made by card itself.
NOTE: 8 bit sound always produces noise! 22Khz degregades sound very little.
I've Sound Blaster Pro - it's initialized as 22KHz/8bit/stereo by default.
Windows version:
none for now
