Modo - ultra simple mod player
==============================
powered by libmikmod

Plays 669, IT, MED, MOD, MTM, S3M, STM and XM module format.

The player has two modes:


1. Browsing folders
-------------------

Select a folder and the player loops through all modules found in the selected
directory. You can not select individual files here, only directories are shown.

Keymapping in this mode:

 D-Pad left - Navigate through directories
D-Pad right - Navigate through directories
      Cross - Navigate through directories
     Square - Play all modules in marked directory
     Circle - Play all modules in current directory
   Triangle - Exit player
   
If you press Square or Circle and nothing happens, then player could not find
any modules in the choosen directory. Otherwise player starts playback.


2. Playback
-----------

Keymapping in this mode:

	D-Pad up - Load and play previous module in directory
           L - Load and play previous module in directory
  D-Pad down - Load and play next module in directory
           R - Load and play next module in directory
  D-Pad left - Seek backward
 D-Pad right - Seek forward
    Triangle - Add five minutes to sleep timer
      Circle - Abort sleep timer
      Square - Switch through speed / power saving
       Start - Abort playback and go back to directory browser
      Select - Abort playback and go back to directory browser
           
If the sleep timer reaches zero, the PSP will go in suspend mode.

The player knows three speed settings (power saving):

1 - Normal (CPU ~ 166 MHz), everything is rendered
    This should be enough reserve for even the biggest module files out there.
    
2 - Reduced (CPU ~ 80 MHz), songname and position is rendered
    This should be enough for almost every module files, but there are a few
    files which will not play to well.
    
3 - Extreme (CPU ~ 25 MHz), nothing rendered on screen
    Still enough for most module files, but it is not for sure that the module
    play well. My PSP played for 8h nonstop in this mode (Screen off, 50% speaker volume),
    battery was full when started, after 8h it was a 56%.


Known limits:
* Only 32 sample / instruments names (messages) are rendered. If a format supports
  more samples / instruments and the mod file author put messages there you do
  not see them. No scrolling atm. 
* Also if author put messages in instrument and sample section the player
  displays the instrument section. No switch button atm.
* You not select / play indiviual files directly. You have to go through all files
  in directory in play mode.
* This is first release, I've tested with many mod files, but there is always 
  possibility that you encounter bugs...
  
  
Anyway have fun, goto to bed, set sleep timer to 25 minutes and good night!
