Hallo vovchick! I am about to re-enter an intensive study period and thought I might revisit the possibility of using binaural beats to assist my grey matter. I found your pet in Puppus Dogfellow's repository
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 760#730760, and found to my delight that it worked OOTB in TahrPup64 with the 32-bit compatibility pet added. Cheers!
Then I did a quick squiz at the latest evidence-based research on the use of binaural beats - these recent peer-reviewed papers appear positive, and I'm especially interested in some learning effects described therein:

...so back I went to the SBaGen database (
http://sbagendb.gusari.org/) to check out any theta- focused .sbg file submissions for playback and inclusion in my learning environment. I found that while I can download the sbg files offered and open them as text to see the working innards, I am unable to get Zensound to "see" the new files and I have to 'gut' (comment out) examples of your splendid collection to paste in the new code. Writing to ask whether you have inklings to include the feature I quoted from the ancient history of this thread,
With Best Wishes
