I was involved with the project for over 3 years as an in-depth tester and user before the changed the direction. During that time period it was either LS or GSt for me. There are many other simple sample players, but none that I know of that read Gig files. LS is a good program. I sincerely hope the developers will remove this language one of these days. Until then I'm a Windows sampler user. Cheers, Mark
