PlayerPRO
Greetings.

Does anyone remember this shareware MOD Music tracker application? It was my favorite for the Mac, and I'd love to find a working copy somewhere. Google has been fruitless so far... :-/ The original developer, Antoine Rosett, open sourced it a while back. But the version he released was all PowerPC code, and thus useless to me. I have a fat version here (4.5.5), but it refuses to work on my Quadra 700.

If anyone has any 68K versions, I would appreciate it immensely.

I do remember PlayerPro! I used it, with some degree of success, to listen to some MODs a friend made. I didn't know that it was around back in the 68k days. I have several versions archived around here somewhere, but I think they are 5.7-5.9, probably not 68k. If will look for any older versions I may have here.

I used it in the late 90s (being a bit poor and not a fan of Windows, my 68k days were until 2003), and I've seen various postings saying there were versions from around late-94ish.

Any 68k Tracker/MOD software would be awesome. I've had very little luck getting anything working on my Quadra. For now I'm blaming it on A/UX, which is quirky beyond belief.

Feel free to PM me if anyone is interested in 4.5.8, 4.5.9, and 5.9. (That's all i have on hand.)

I know Antoine Rosett is still around and doing his thing. For the past few years, he's been working on a piece of software called Osirix. You might be able to track him down through the Osirix webpage and see if he could be of any help.

5.2 is supposed to be the last 68K version, and I can't find evidence of it anywhere. Surely it must exist on some disk somewhere?

i have a version somewhere at home, can upload it here later if you want?

The freeware versions of 5.2 and 5.1 appear to be hosted here. Should probably mirror them as they weren't easy to find. The non-freeware 5.2 remains elusive.

I am also looking for this. It's not uploaded in any of the usual places.

There the versions I can link to... Slightly thrown by you editing your post after my first response so that you're now making more specific requests. I think I've seen 5.2... might be in the giant Audio archive...

Nope, https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/ppc-audio-software-os7-osx58-some-68k-apps just hast lots of 4.5.x variants and 5.9 freeware.
