What is the best MP3 player for the Amiga computer?

[BoingBoss]

Hi everybody,

I would like to install an MP3 player on my Amiga 2500 computer.  What do you guys recommend?  I have a 68040 board, will this be enough to play MP3s?

Hi lordv,

Should I get a Blizzard 060 board? :-?

Hi PMC,

If you can get your hands on an A3K, A4K or A1200 then I might even go so far as to suggest geting hold of a PPC accelerator.

At present time I am looking for an Amiga 3000 Tower in like new condition with original box.  The Amiga 3000 is built like the Amiga 4000 which is a poor design, so I do not want either of those.  The Amiga 3000 Towers motherboard is designed just like the Amiga 2000 motherboard, so it is a much better design.  Also, the Amiga 3000 Tower has the coolest looking case of all the Amiga models.  In fact, the vintage PC case that I choose to put my Amiga 500 into looks a lot like an Amiga 3000 Tower case.

I have an AD516 sound card in my Amiga 2500.  Will this help?

Hi PMC,

Put it this way, for the same money I could have either a VW Golf GTI or an Alfa Romeo 156. One's better built and the other is nicer to use. Guess which I plumped for?

That is not a very good comparison.  Here is a better one: "Put it this way, for the same money I could have either a like new 1964 Pontiac GTO with low miles or a modern-day new piece of crap car or truck.  The first is better built, gets the job done, and will last for decades.  The second is a low quality, over-priced piece of crap that the average person is stupid enough to buy.  Sure, it drives nice but for how long, and will it get the chics or outrun your average cop car?  Guess which one I plumped for"?   :-D

Believe me when I tell you this:  Long after you guys computers are dead, my Commodore 64 / 128D, Atari ST, and Amiga computers will continue to kick some PC but!    :lol:

My Amiga DOES True Color !!!!

Yea, but is the PC as FUN to use as the Amiga?
