Re: Almost got MP#'s to work, but... (Help)

Well, I'm using mp3Play on an A2000/060, with standard sound, and this works okay! Seems to latch on to MPEGA which I also have:

Short:    Very small GUI for MPEGA
Uploader: carls@kajen.com (Carl Svensson)

Type:     mus/play
Version:  1.1
Requires: ARexx, rexxreqtools.library, MPEGA

What's This?
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
mp3Play is a small (almost tiny) GUI for MPEGA, the Amiga MP3 Player.
It's written in ARexx and needs RexxReqTools.library to work.


Contents of this Distribution
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
mp3Play    The GUI Script
mp3Config  Configuration Script
ReadMe     This file


Requirements
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
· ARexx (with RexxMast running)
· MPEGA
· rexxreqtools.library (available from aminet, reqtoolsusr.lha)

No AHI, 24-bit Workbench screen or PowerPC CPU is needed
for it to look and sound good :)
I guess the GUI is blazing fast even on a vanilla 68000 machine,
since it only uses ReqTools. I haven't tested this though.


Installation
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
1. Copy the mp3Play directory to the wished destination
   (for example, your hard drive)

2. Run mp3Config. This script is quite self-explanatory,
   so I won't bother to explain it here.
   The default MPEGA options (-d 2 -q 1 -p 3 -b 32) gives
   me a clear, crisp sound using only about 25% CPU on my
   A1200 with a 50MHz 060. However, you might wish to
   replace these with the ones of your choice.
   
   mp3Config creates a file called "mp3Play.cfg" in your
   s: directory. It's a very small file containing
   only one line of text.


Usage
¯¯¯¯¯
1. Run mp3Play
   - From Workbench: Double-click the icon.
   - From CLI: 1> rx mp3Play  

2. Now the GUI appears. It has three buttons:
   Play, Stop and Quit.
   
   The Play button throws up a file requester
   (NO multiple choice available). When you've
   selected an mp3 file, mp3Play starts playing it.
   If mp3Play is already playing a file when the
   Play button is pressed, mp3Play stops playing
   the old file and throws up a file requester.  
   The Stop button stops playing.
   The Quit button stops playing and closes the GUI.

mp3Play v2.0, currently in development, will feature
