Sorry, I don't know Java, but I'm sure there was a text-to-speech component some where and it use the microsoft engine.
No problem. I think it is not that bad. Will try to port it when I have some free time.
Well, I remember when I used to play on Amiga, there only were mod files, then some clever people made some improvements to that format to include at first more channels, then better samples and finally more effects. Actually, the more complete format today is XM. The popular ones that survived until today are MOD, S3M, IT and XM. Basicly all of them are the same kind, tracked songs, each format has a few special features, but all of them has in common samples and track data. It has sense when you write a player to be able to play at least that 4 ones.
One thing I miss is a good tracker on Windows (yes, I use that to develop).
