oh boy, good memories, I remember this was the first thing I tried when I bought my A1010 external drive, finally I could listen to the full mix without interruption when the 2nd disk was required. I believe it were FOUR floppies in total, containing each a large AIFF file. With an external drive the music was fluid, if not it would just loop until you inserted the next disk. (it does not ask for a next disk with a popup or so, you just should insert it while the other drive is streaming the sound)

And as it was developed for A1000, SCA did a nasty thing by using the red power led to flip all the time on/off, but the sucky thing was that on an A500 the sound filter would kick in and out all the time, ruining the whole thing! I believe I fixed that by using a LED-OFF bootsector on the first floppy, which kept the led OFF all the time, then the sound was clear!

But I have no idea if I still have the original floppies, it has been 21 years since I saw this baby
