Music and Video player

[Daedalus]

What kind of CPU have you got? There are some good MP3 players, plenty of MOD players and some decent video players... But MP3s require a decent cpu - video even more so. As a start, SongPlayer (the older version - written in assembler for speed) is very good for MP3s, CDs, WAVs etc., though the newer version is a little slower. DeliPlayer & HippoPlayer are apparently good for MODs (don't listen to them much myself though), and Action from OS3.9 (think its shareware name is different) does a reasonable job of video for a classic.

Edit: Just saw your post... Yes, a 68000 simply can't crunch numbers fast enough to decode MP3 at all! ideally you want a 68060 for full quality, though you might get away with an 040. Mods should be ok on a 68000, and you might try a hardware decoder such as the MAS Player to play MP3s, but even that will struggle with higher bitrates on a 68000...

Nope... Video is more processor-intensive than MP3, mainly as the video needs decoding as well as the audio, and the audio alone is too much!

Yeah, I guess that's true about the CDXL animations - might well be worth a try! As I said earlier though, SongPlayer will play many formats, and anything uncompressed should be playable. WAV is supported by pretty much everything, as is AIFF...
