Almost got MP3's to work correctly, but... (Help)

[kubyx]

Alrighty, I almost got MP3's to work correctly! Got rid of the "static" it was user error on my part... copied the mpega060FPU.library instead of the mpega060.library, whoops!

Sounds plays now!!! YAY! However the sound is a bit "grainy"... 11k mono(?) (No I DO NOT have an amiga sound card!) You can read my Amiga systems specs below in my signature.

Is there a way to I adjust the audio chip settings?

Well, I'm using mp3Play on an A2000/060, with standard sound, and this works okay! Seems to latch on to MPEGA which I also have:

Short:    Very small GUI for MPEGA

What's This?
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
mp3Play is a small (almost tiny) GUI for MPEGA, the Amiga MP3 Player.
It's written in ARexx and needs RexxReqTools.library to work.


Contents of this Distribution
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
mp3Play    The GUI Script
mp3Config  Configuration Script
ReadMe     This file


Requirements
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
· ARexx (with RexxMast running)
· MPEGA
· rexxreqtools.library (available from aminet, reqtoolsusr.lha)

No AHI, 24-bit Workbench screen or PowerPC CPU is needed
for it to look and sound good
I guess the GUI is blazing fast even on a vanilla 68000 machine,
since it only uses ReqTools. I haven't tested this though.


Installation
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
1. Copy the mp3Play directory to the wished destination
   (for example, your hard drive)

2. Run mp3Config. This script is quite self-explanatory,
   so I won't bother to explain it here.
   The default MPEGA options (-d 2 -q 1 -p 3 -b 32) gives
   me a clear, crisp sound using only about 25% CPU on my
   A1200 with a 50MHz 060. However, you might wish to
   replace these with the ones of your choice.
   
   mp3Config creates a file called "mp3Play.cfg" in your
   s: directory. It's a very small file containing
   only one line of text.


Usage
¯¯¯¯¯
1. Run mp3Play
   - From Workbench: Double-click the icon.
   - From CLI: 1> rx mp3Play  

2. Now the GUI appears. It has three buttons:
   Play, Stop and Quit.
   
   The Play button throws up a file requester
   (NO multiple choice available). When you've
   selected an mp3 file, mp3Play starts playing it.
   If mp3Play is already playing a file when the
   Play button is pressed, mp3Play stops playing
   the old file and throws up a file requester.  
   The Stop button stops playing.
   The Quit button stops playing and closes the GUI.

To Do
¯¯¯¯¯
mp3Play v2.0, currently in development, will feature
a playlist and more GUI buttons ;-)

Download MUI and Songplayer and you can adjust the frequency to 44.1 khz and High quality. Or buy AmigaOS 3.9 and you get Amiplifier with it. The MP3's sound a little better then Songplayer's output. If you buy AmigaOS 3.9, you have to download Boingbag 1 from www.amiga.com and Boingbag 2 from www.haage-partner.de. There is a problem to see the whole prefs window on a 640x256 resolution and Boingbag 2 will fix that.
