My new Amiga 1200, software recomendations?

[vox]

Finally got my Amiga 1200 Yesterday!

At first I had some issues with video output, "rolling screen".
Works ok with composite so probably something wrong with my rgb->scart cable(I got the cable when i bought my amiga 500 and 600 and it works great on them).
 
I then tried resoldering the cable but noticed that previous owner had used wrong values on the resistors, going to buy new ones today and give it another go!:hammer:
 
Installed Workbench 3.1, then the ACA1230/28 Accelerator and tried some whdload games, Monkey Island 2 =)
 
 
Since I've never owned an Amiga until 3 weeks ago, I need some tips on essential software and utilities that I might need.
 
So far I've installed:
lha
unzip
adf.device
adf2disk
whdload
 
One thing I know I want is some kind of music player for playing mods, but I have no idea which one is good.

Amiga OS 3.5 or OS 3.9
Boing Bags and extras

YAM 68k and many modern 68k software could run well
If possible, increase RAM to max

If you are really brave, AROS 68k

Aminet, mass of things is still 68k

And enjoy your AGA chipset to the max :-)

If you really want to experiment, you could go ScalOS

or download AmiKit on PC and take everything back to roots

Even if you stay with OS 3.1, get DOPUS
