I am new to the world of sound and music on the Atari ST. Dave Bagget's 
series of sound programs finally piqued my interest in exploring this 
arena.  I've managed to lay hands on a number of SND files and have noticed 
some curious results. Some SND files play just fine using Dave Baggets 
PLAY.PRG and some don't. Of the ones that don't, some will play OK on 
PLAYEM.PRG which I got from GEnie, but there's still a few that won't
play. The programs that don't play always sound horrifically garbled and 
sometimes even cause the floppy disk drive LED to flicker!

I'm wondering if anyone can explain the differences I've seen, er, heard, 
and perhaps comment on the availability of hardware to digitise sound 
on the ST.
