Hiya all....
I thought that maybe there was an off-chance that someone else here who was a vintage sound card guru might have a groovy setup for playing these kind of tunes.
I was hoping to find something that combines the features of something like DWJukebox (dot com -a DOS mp3 player and skinnable jukebox) and Game Launcher (a versatile MAME and multi-emulator front-end) into a multi-vintage-soundcard player in DOS. Can't find anyone who's done this yet tho... but since I know there are people here besides myself who love their Gravis Ultrasounds, Sound Canvases, and OPL 2/3 SB's, that perhaps someone has set up something impressive to make use of these old music formats besides just running a player via a command-line.
There's pluggins for Winamp and VLC and the like that turn them into all-purpose uber-players, but it's difficult to take advantage of the real cards if one has them, and that's kinda the point of a good retro rig. Personally I'd like to create a front-end for all the myriad of music players for all these songs and cards and get something that looks nice and slick and fun to just click around and listen. If it hasn't been done yet, I don't know why it shouldn't be! If it has, I'd love to know about the project.
Anyone into something like this?
