• Fixed a bug while converting MPEG files with an internal CRC check which caused the conversion to fail,
• No longer write non-standard AIFF headers when converting,
• Fixed a bug that would cause a crash when two MOD files are played one after the other using the ZSS drivers,

2.1.1, July 12, 1996.
• Corrected playback problem on 68K Macs.
2.2, December 3, 1996.

• Added Sound Designer and direct QuickTime output formats,
• Added support for MACE-3 and MACE-6 compression in SoundEdit files,
• Added support for AIFF and 'snd ' files explicitly encoded with the 'twos' and 'raw ' codecs,
• Re-wrote the MIDI code from scratch and added OMS support and a new MIDI Preferences pane,
• Included new ZSS drivers with MTM support,
• Added Script menu which lists the scripts in a “Script Menu Items” folder,
• The volume preference is now relative to the system volume, thus will have no effect on other applications’ volume, and can now go from 10% to 150%,
• Fixed sample rate specification with AIFF files due to an incompatibility with CodeWarrior and extended floating point numbers,
• Fixed a bug which could cause a hang while playing MED/OctaMED files with the ZSS driver set as preferred,
• Fixed a problem which caused some files to be left open when dragged to the Play List,
• Now properly calculates the length of MPEG Layer I files,
• Removed two-byte click at the beginning of converted System 7 sound files,
• Added Info window to provide more information on a sound file,
• Added extensive AppleScript support,
