Help needed to play mp3 with 060 and Paula
« on: July 29, 2006, 10:20:40 PM »
Hello.

My A1200T is now fitted with an Apollo 1260 but i still can't play mp3 with good sound.
I have of course AHI and i use AmigaAMP with mpega.library.

I have read many topics about a 14bit mode with Paula and AHI that could give proper sound.

However, although i can read mp3 without lag, the sound output is really bad and parazited.

I could use the help of someone with this setup in order to configure this famous 14 bit mode.

Thanks.

I would get a MAS player if i had a 020 or 030 cpu. Here i have a 060 and people are reading mp3 with no more hardware than the good old Paula.
I just have to learn how :-)

Just to give feedback on this subjet, i am using now SongPlayer and indeed the sound output from mp3 is much better than with AmigaAmp and AHI, using 44 KHz and stereo from 196Mb/s encoded mp3.

However, there is still a minor problem: for exemple, Madonna seems to sing as if she has hair on her tongue (it means in french "avoir un cheveu sur la langue", not sure of the english for this expression), so that any "s" becomes "sssssss".

Maybe Paula is not able to make better, but it is still not perfect output.




PS: i am still using my Apollo 1260, now at 66Mhz.

I can't find the tool Cybersound on aminet. Only on some links that appear to be broken.
Anyone got a link?

Which tool do you use to convert to AIFF please?

By the way, the hairy thong was more in the first song of this very album, hung up, but after all, maybe she simply eats marshmallows while in studio ;-)
