I think even if a court decrees that Media Player must be removed from the OS, Amiga users will not be affected.  

I for one would love to have Media Player on my machine! Or anything!  How come Media Player could play compressed AVI files, MP3 files, and VCD files on a 66MHz 486 PC 8 or more years ago, but Amiga stil cannot do this on a 66MHz processor.  I would have thought that there would be wizards out there demonstrating how to get a stock 500 playing MP3s with less than 10% CPU utilization.  
Those kinds of amazing feats are what the Amiga was all about.  I would think there would be an elegant media player of some kind supporting at least 2.04 68020 Amigas.

Can somebody point one out to me?  I seriously want to use one of these CD-ROM equiped Amigas I have laying around for something.
