Update

Cooperations with multiple composers are now handled correctly. Each composer is now displayed with his/her unicode name and as separate link. Additionally, variantions of handles used in the SAP files are resolved with a "best effort" approach (here PG vs. PG, PseudoGrafx).

 

Request for your support

I'd really like to present the composer with names correctly spelling in ther native language. So here's a simple attempt: if you know a name, handle, composer or Demozoo ID for a composer, please enter it in this Googlesheet. The columns "First Name Unicode" or "Last Name Unicode" allow using special characters like in "Radek Štěrba".

 

I'll then take over changes to the DB after verification

Thanks to the input from LotekStyle I've manged to include the links to https://demozoo.org/ now on the file level.

 

They are computed automatically based on the download links of the form "http://asma.atari.org/asma/Composers/Roszkowski_Marek/Potworniki.sap" maintained at Demozoo.

The About dialog lists the Atari 8-bit Demozoo music productions which do not yet have a link or entry at ASMA. Here you can help by maintaining the download link or providing a SAP file.

Thanks to Evil from DHS, the ASMA website now supports "https://" and automatically redirects from "http://" to "https://".

So old links work, but it's recommended that you update your bookmarks.

Project Update

The source code whole website projects has moved to Github: https://github.com/peterdell/asma.atari.org 
There you can create bug reports or enhancement requests and see the detailed changes, too.

 

Player Update

When you play a song, the URL now includes the song path in the hash part of the URL
This enables sharing and bookmarking links which point directly to song.
It also enabled you to use the browser-back button to return to the previously played song.
Example: https://asma.atari.org/asmadb/asma.html#/Composers/Pesout_Marek/No_Good_Start_The_Dance.sap
Note: Chrome does not allow to start replay until the user performed an action. So you have to press "Play" when the window opens the first time.

 

Composer Update

Composer names have been fixed and updated with further Unicode names, courtesy of Fox (Thanks!)
The additional input sheets, also the one at Google, have been removed again.
Further change requests can simply be reported here or at Github.

 

Content Update

Two new TIA Tracker tunes were contributed by Juha Jaakkola.
Fox has updated the CMC songs, which suffered from a bug in the original CMC player.
The latest ZIP and statistics are uploaded, too.
