Old DOS program - Music Box

Does anyone remember an old DOS program for playing music through the PC speaker's Beeps called Music Box.

I had to slow the Amstrad PC's 4.5 mhz processor down to 3mhz (I think), to play the music at the correct speed.

It had The Entertainer and lots of other tunes.

Thanks for any help in finding it :-)

Matalog.

I don't quite remember the speaker players, it's possibly something I missed since I got a soundcard early on, but maybe check here and ask on their forum:

I remember and got Adlib Visual Composer JukeBox working on DosBox, but it's Adlib and not pc beeper, of course.
The CGA Magenta images on Google, or watch & listen on YouTube
It would play .rol files, funny because later Roland was a competitor with the MT32, etc.

All that to say, if you can find a list with the Adlib Jukebox or Visual Composer on it, the music player you are looking for might be on it, too.

You might also try looking around at Video Game Music Preservation Foundation (vgmpf.com)
