  I don't think "they" ever fixed that, but several people have made programs
that play Sonix songs.  Two that I can think of right now are Mark Riley's
Sonix Score Player and Peter Norman's AudioMasterII (will play IFF, Sonix, and
Raw sound files). 

  Mark Riley is on Bix:mriley and Plink:SONIX
  I'm not sure if AudioMasterII will play sonix .smus files, but I know Sonix
Score Player will.
