+ASAP - Another Slight Atari Player
+----------------------------------
+
+ASAP is a player of Atari 8-bit music for modern computers.
+It emulates the POKEY sound chip and the 6502 processor.
+The project was initially based on the routines from the Atari800 emulator,
+but the current version has a completely new original emulation core.
+
+The ASAP project includes the following programs:
+* ASAP2WAV - portable command-line utility that generates WAV files
+* WASAP - tiny player for Windows
+* plugin for Apollo
+* plugin for foobar2000 0.9
+* plugin for GSPlayer
+* plugin for MOC
+* plugin for Winamp
+* plugin for XMMS
+* DirectShow source filter (for Windows Media Player)
+* Java version of ASAP2WAV
+* Java applet
+* Java midlet
+* C# version of ASAP2WAV
+
+The following input formats are supported:
+* SAP (Slight Atari Player - standard file format for playing Atari 8-bit
+  music on modern computers)
+* CMC (Chaos Music Composer)
+* CMR (CMC Rzog)
+* DMC (DoublePlay CMC)
+* MPT (Music ProTracker)
+* MPD (MPT DoublePlay)
+* RMT (Raster Music Tracker)
+* TMC, TM8 (Theta Music Composer 1.x)
+* TM2 (Theta Music Composer 2.x)
+
+If you are looking for Atari 8-bit music, there is a single big collection
+of it called Atari SAP Music Archive (http://asma.atari.org).
