CD32 plays MP3's????

[leirbag28]

 I was just on this website called "katodev.de"   I noticed something interesting which was the High End requirements for an Amiga to play MP3's with the AMPlifier sofware:

HIGH END REQUIREMENTS:

"DSP-driven Hardware which supports mpeg.device (Peggy+, CD32-FMV, Melody-Z2, Melody1200-plus/pro)

Amiga using 68020 CPU or better running Amiga OS3.x "


Ok, I happen to have a CD32 with an FMV card..........................so Are you telling me that I can play MP3's perfectly throught the FMV card? if so, how?   where do I get drivers and software?

I suspected this before but was told I can only play up to Layer 2 ??

If I am not mistaken, all VideoCD players can play some form of MP3 because it has MPEG1 Video decoder and I assume the audio contained it is has to me at least MP2? or MP3, so if it can decode video, I don't see why it cannot decode Audio.

As for the MASPLayer, I wish I could find one of those for cheap. and the software was made wrong........it is loRes PAL overscan.which means you cant use it on hardly any NTSC LCD screens if you want to make it portable, or even a regular TV for that matter.

Amplifier can play VideoCD's?

how do you direct it to play from the CD32 FMV (I have an SX-1 with HD)?

SO can the FMV card play MP3 or not?  some say YES, others say NO............which is it?

if yes...........How do I access the CD32mpeg.device? as it is not in the devs drawer?

I have a command called "cdmpeg" in the "C" directory that plays VideoCD's...........I guess that can access it...I got it from the Commodore Demo CD 2.0 for the CD32 which had 2 MPEG tracks..............but how will I use AMPlifier to do it since it has to be a DEVICE?
