Having fun with audio sample generating and sound backends for 15 years!

1000 downloads reached!

2023-09-29T16:25:57.681000Z

IMYplay reached its 1000th download today!
Maybe not a great achievement compared to other projects, but it's still something to be glad about for an application which plays a historical melody format when compressed hi-fi audio formats, like OGG/Vorbis, are more popular and widespread nowadays.
The relevant badges have been added to the Wiki and the project's website.
Thank you, users!
