Aylet is a software tool that allows users to play music files with the `.ay' format easily.
Aylet is a software application which plays sound files in the .ay format. These files are essentially wrappers around bits of Z80 code that play music on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum 128's sound hardware, including the beeper and the AY-3-8912 sound chip. Additionally, files using the Amstrad CPC ports are supported by the system.
This sound hardware emulation is based on the one developed for Spectrum emulator Fuse and the Z80 emulation is from Ian Collier's `xz80'. The software offers front-ends for both curses and X with mostly the same features. The curses version of Aylet has a `non-UI' option, allowing users to use it in much the same way as mpg123. Furthermore, Aylet provides users the ability to output music as a sample on stdout.
However, it is worth noting that the playlist management is currently rather poor, as the application just plays files specified on the command-line. Nevertheless, the developer plans on fixing this issue in a future update.
Recent updates to Aylet have improved the application as well. Tracks can now be faded out correctly when played.
