Nice video
But you should try Prayer btw, use it with Madonna's "Like a prayer" :-D

It's much faster.
Give us some feedback after trying it.

We should note that the Amiga isn't doing anything else.  ;-)  :-P

Hi,

@dougal,

All I saw was a TV or video monitor playing a song with some stupid sort of player. Where was the A1200. I see no proof of an Amiga anywhere in the movie, some people on this site are just too nice. Even the song was unlikeable. This U tube demo was complete trash. What was the reason for this horrible demo, was there even any rhyme or reason for it.

Arrrgh!!!

I hate useless waste of bandwidth

smerf

enjoy :crazy:  :crazy:  :crazy:

The continuous scan of the 15khz monitor and the interface behaviour is proof enough to me....  

Hearing my first MP3 on my ol'4000/030 was fun even tho I had to type the playmp3 command everytime.  

There is worst waste of bandwidth on youtube than this...or in some forum replies

[dougal]

I couldn't show the A1200 because it is tucked in a section of my desk quite lower than my monitor .

Even if i had to show it , there would be now way i could show the wires leading to the monitor .

The song was a crappy song because its an mp3 30 second sample from Amazon since that is all i could fit on a PC formatted 720K floppy .

I can't do better for now because i don't have enough space on my desk to setup the external CDROM and my PCMCIA CF card reader doesn't work .

And yeah i do agree that it is a waste of bandwidth to a certain extent especially to people here who know that the Amiga is capable of that and much more .

But having said that , people who use youtube and their last Amiga memories are that of 15 years ago and never since would love seeing a classic Amiga playing MP3's which probably didnt even exsist at that time .

It might even push some people to take their Amiga's out and use them again . Maybe .

But the Mas-Player isn't using the actual Paula sound chip from the Amiga .

I like the fact that a 15 year old Amiga is using its own hardware and playing MP3's .

True - Can I have some extra points for running OS3.5 on original commodore 3.0 Roms :lol:

[dougal]

LOL

I am cheating too ... My actual ROMS are 3.0

I run OS3.9 because i use Blizkick which when i turn on the Amiga kicks it into kickstart 3.1 :-)

But i am waiting for a kickstart 3.1 romset i bought from ebay ;-)

@Smerf... don't hold back mate, tell us how you really feel! lol

And Dougal's got a point about people not being aware of some of the Amiga's capabilities. That's one of the great things about the Amiga, she continues to surprise! Some have stuffed her and OS3.0 in the closet, are reminded of her thanks to an internet video or website like this, dust her off, install a new OS and can fall in love all over again  :-)  

The Amiga is like a time machine, only it keeps getting better every few years. The few times in my life I've laid a Miggy to rest for a while, *something* new: be it hardware or software related has popped up. Still going on today with the GVP products, Deneb & Indivision, just to name a few.

[dougal]

Thanks :-)

I like many of you had abandoned the Amiga way back somwhere round 1996 . I even sold my 1st Amiga 500 Plus so that i can buy a PC . Shame on me !!

But lost over a year later i regretted it badly and whilst working at a computer shop built up an Amiga 500 using parts from 2 broken A500's .

Today nearly 12 years later , i STILL have this A500 and it still works perfectly :-)

So yes , the Amiga keeps impressing me even today , especially today with all these lovely upgrades and accessories being released for it , and with such a thriving , friendly and interesting community on amiga.org .
