Youtube vide of my A1200 playing an MP3

@Smerf... don't hold back mate, tell us how you really feel! lol

And Dougal's got a point about people not being aware of some of the Amiga's capabilities. That's one of the great things about the Amiga, she continues to surprise! Some have stuffed her and OS3.0 in the closet, are reminded of her thanks to an internet video or website like this, dust her off, install a new OS and can fall in love all over again  :-)  

The Amiga is like a time machine, only it keeps getting better every few years. The few times in my life I've laid a Miggy to rest for a while, *something* new: be it hardware or software related has popped up. Still going on today with the GVP products, Deneb & Indivision, just to name a few.

@Dougal:

too bad old Paula Poundstone isn't up to the task of reproducing the full spectrum of the 16-bit/44.1khz file. What you're seeing are the specs of the file. This is why we need an AHI.device or the mp3@64 device!

Buy it now linky for use on your A1200's clockport!

Oh, and Prayer seems like a decent mp3 player. Spartan, but decent. Looks like you MUST register it though to get higher sampling rates and stereo sound, among the rest of the options: which are all disabled. I guess a gal wrote this program?? She's beautiful according to her pic! Are you able to still register this? Before throwing $20 her way, I wish I knew if the stereo sound and higher sampling rate didn't cause major CPU slowdown. As it sits now, it flies compared to AMPlifier.

BTW HELP! My AMPlifier from OS3.9's BB2(version 2.34)... I just noticed the EQ does not work! I turn it 'on', adjust the mail level and tweak the various frequencies. Nothing. Presets button doesn't work either. What's going on here? It used to work years ago, on my A1200! lol

Your mp3 player is looking for an AHI.device. Point it to Paula and it should work. Mpega.library is version 2.4.

Thanks brianb. I was not using that AHI user app. Since installing and pointing from X-sound to AHI in the config settings, the fidelity AND the multitasking/CPU usage is much better. S/N ratio is higher though as it seems much more of the audio spectrum is being represented. Lots of neat options apparently abound now, but changing them (ie: paula 14bit, etc) doesn't seem to do a thing and the EQ still doesn't work. I was always under the auspices I couldn't make use of ahi.device without proper hardware. Thanks for the tip!

-edit-

Wait a tick! After a reset and opening AMPlifier again, it said: "cannot open AHI device 4". Another reset later and it worked again! lol   Arghhh..
