I think I've found what's going on. As I'm playing the wav file from my PC, it has no 'remote'. The program is loading and, in the middle of the sequence of blocks, it stops to play the music, which I cannot do fast enough. So when it continues loading, it doesn't find the data it needs. Also, check...

Negative, the tape ends without changing the loading screen.

Yep, plays the tune right (the counter reaches 320) and then tries to load the second file on tape, but the tape ends and the program doesn't start.

I tried to separete the files into two different cas files, with the same result.

Greetings from the CPCWiki!

Well, I simply don't understand how Music Maker works and at least I can do through the menus of composer. Not that I am a musician myself... By the way, can anyone please try the attached composer file? It loads flawlessly on XRoar, but on a real Dragon64, it just don't load the menu part. I've tri...

If I remember right. there's a small utility called fixcas which fixes header lengths and such.

Try to use it before converting the .cas file to .wav.

Did it come complete with with the original manual?

Yes, mine is exactly like the one you linked.

There is a Windows (.NET) version here...

Nice! I'll take a look at it tonight.

Thank you!

Yep, I tried it and I also tried Hex-editing my cas file and the archive's cas file and there is simple no jukebox string in the files. The two programs on the tape are COMPOSER and PLAYWAVC. I can run composer in the emulator but hangs when run on a real Dragon 64. And I don't know what to do with ...

Thanks a bunch!

Where does the Jukebox program comes from? It's not on the original tape, at least the Microdeal version...
