1) The package doesn't come with Delphi examples, only C#, VB and C++.

2) Previous FMOD had lack of support for IT music format (BASS does better job there). I couldn't find a working example that could play MODs, so not sure if they did any real improvement.

3) The compiled examples run in a console window and are pretty ugly. With a $2,000 price for Win32 platform (more than twice as much as BASS costs) this isn't a very good example of a good commercial package.

Of course, let's remember that there's always room for improvement


Update:

On their forums, it looks like adding Delphi examples isn't a priority:

I don't know if we'll expend the resources to add examples, VB seems to be more popular i think, thats why we supported that.

Checked the list of added features. IT-format support remains the same :x

I wonder what it would take to port FreePascal to PSP?

I know the only other processor (besides PIC which is planned next) that the FPC doesn't support is MIPS. And with that you are considering PS2 and Game Cube.
