Ogg vorbis on AmigaOS, how?

[neongod]

Hi,

I've seen vorbis_tools was released on AmigaOS. I've tried it on a csppc/060. Vorbis tools only support the 68k so it was very slow, and hangs up every second. It uses ixemul.library and its very slow as you know :-)
Are there a ppc version? powerup, warpos?

Are there any other ogg vorbis players (or plugin for existing players) which can play this format on a ppc AmigaOS?

If not.. why can't somebody make one? :-)
Is it hard to compile the 68k vorbis tools to ppc? and make a plugin to Amigaamp or any other player to use the ppc vorbis tools?

what do you think?

regards

ps.: ogg rulz, mp3 *****  :-D

Yes Mos is supported.. but I have no mos and I didn't want it. I'd like to use my AmigaOS :-)

So.. I will try the MpegGui.. thanks.

But it seems there are no warpos/powerup ogg decoder... ?

Songplayer doesn't support ogg on 68k, as I know. And it would be very slow anyway :-)

I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, but I was searching for Classic AmigaOS PPC versions of any ogg player. I mean WarpOS or PowerUP versions.

I know that the vorbis tools have MorphOS support and there are other players on MorphOS which can play ogg, like Kaya, as I know...

I don't want to use portable mp3 players.

I have many music in ogg format and they sounds far better than the mp3. I've compared them many times. By the way, ogg uses variable bitrate, so I don't think that you can compare mp3 and ogg on the same bitrate..

The question was not about why ogg is better or not than mp3. The question was, are there any players for warpos or powerup that can play this format? :-|

Yes, you are right, only Frogger can play ogg audio on amigaos with warpos. but it still hangs if you want to do anything paralelly. for example when moving a window or if you open an ibrowse, etc.. and it crashes very often.. :/

Frogger is actually a movie, not an audio player..


why cant somebody make a plugin for AmigaAmp? or add ogg support to songplayer? is it so useless? or takes too much time?


Anyway, we have FLAC encoder/decoder too. But are there any players for AmigaOS, that support FLAC playback?
