Description

The SNDH / Atari SoundHeader format was created by BDC of the Atari ST demo group Aura in an attempt to standardise chip music formats and playback for the Atari ST. A .sndh file consists of the original song, a replayer for that format and a header containing a unified calling interface and metadata about the music.
