Hardware MP3 decoder?

[Tenacious]

Sorry for necrothreading. ...

...What would be recommended for my set up? The MAS (even though it is VERY difficult to find now) or the Delfina? And will the Delfina allow me to listen to mp3's out of the box without slowing down my Amiga? Please note, I am not one of the most technical of users, so please keep it simple for the simpleton that I am :-D

Thanks all

I have a MasPlayer and Delfina Flipper.  

MasPlayer does an excellent job and has never caused a crash.  It will work with a 7 Mhz 68000 Amiga!  It plays well with AmigaAmp, Amplifier and AminetRadio.

I've owned the Delfina for years and have never got it to work (it crashed my system as soon as executed), stopped trying after a few months.  Individual Computers did offer to buy it back from me.  The hardware appears to be OK.  It seems the software (not by IC) still has not been debugged for most common Amiga configurations.  Eventually, I'll try it with a 1200 clock port.

I would be more interested in trying a Mp3@64 if I knew it did not suffer the same software oversight as the Delfina.

Man, hate it how I can't find one , you think they will ever re-produce them again? Just before my long hiatus from anything Amiga, I had the chance to get one; serves me right haha.  

They were available years ago (1990s?) and then went extinct.  I looked casually for many years before lierbag sold me his.  About a year and a half ago, Amigakit found a new source and had them in stock for a while.  I wonder now if enough ppl petitioned them, they could commission a new batch.

...Ouch! I'm still tossing up whether I should buy one, but this prospect kind of scares me. Would it be the result of your 060 you think?

The 060 might be the problem. In reading many posts on this topic, the flipper was the more advanced version (Jens: "..there's nothing we can't improve..").  It seems the older Zorro versions were more compatible but still suffered random crashes.

Is the Mp3@64 hard to find as well?
