Music and Video player

[sim085]

Hi,

In my endless search to fill up my 2GB CF card with software - I am now looking for the best Music and Video players for Workbench 3.1 out there.

Also I was wondering what music and video do these players play?

Regards,

I found AccessiblePlayer (2.22) and EaglePlayer (2.1) from Aminet. I found the source code for EaglePlayer 2.4 as well but no download link I think EaglePlayer seems to have much more support - altough I can not understand many of the additions.

Additionally, from previous research I made I found out that is next to impossible to play mp3 music on a 68000 processor.

Is this true? and if yes then what type of music can I play?

[sim085]

Thank you for the information - yes mp3 was always out of the question for me! Maybe I can find some songs I like in Midi or Mod format

I guess there is no video under a 68000 processor either right!?

Thank you cammy - I was wondering if I could convert MP3 to any format accepted by an amiga music player, but had no idea that WAV was accepted!

Regarding video - that is what I was thinking, as much as I know the CDTV was made to play video and the CDTV is based on the A500 and therefore I was expecting I could maybe play some video here and there.

I will try to play some music first and then turn my attention to video

Note that I do not need this stuff for work or anything like that - I just like to experiment here and there

Thank you for the replies and the link. I am downloading it right now.

Regarding Songplayer; is the version on Aminet the old one or the new one? I am asking because that version only works with a 68020 processor. If so, is there any other music player that plays .wav files?

When I try to play WAV music using hippo player I get an error message telling me "not enough memory". I am trying this on WinUAE with 2Mb ChipRAM and 8Mb FastRAM on a 68000 processor. Should I maybe convert the music from mp3 to something else?

wmv isn't mp3.

I know ... I tried to use a program to covert mp3 to wav.

I suggest you consult HiP.guide for the supported file formats.

I'll give it a look

Just to be more clear - I am converting music from mp3 format to wav format at 6000Hz, 8 bits per sample and Mono. The error message I get now is "Trouble with the player group".

Yes I tried to play it on WinUAE but under 68000 CDGSXL complains and under 68030 it does not run ... when I play it from MultiView I get a dark picture and something moving slowly.

Hi,

I spent much of yesterday formatting mp3 to wav format using different parameters but none worked getting the error messages previously reported here when try to play them on hippo player. I then check if there was a plugin to play wav files on hippo player but could not find one either

Does anyone know how to make hippo player to play wav format music or if there is a player that runs this music. I checked hippo read me files but could not understand what the other formats it supports are and I am not intrested in mp3 (which seems to require at least an 020).

Thanks for any suggestions,

I managed to play wav files with hippoplayer - had misplaced a file I like Soundbox as well ... going to install both on my hard disk.

Regarding CDXL, what I know about the CDTV is that it was very similar (if not the same) to the A500 - therefore I would assume that if it worked on the CDTV then it should also work on an A500, A500+ and A600! right?

I'll do some testing as well
