Thanks

I use AMPlifier straight out of 3.9 to play .mp3's through my AD516 sound card.  Works fine for me and very nice sound quality.  I'm sure it could also play through Paula but I haven't tried.  ;)

There's also AmigaAMP, which I understand is a bit newer and has extra plugins and skins, but for me it seemed a little more "stuttery", like it needed a faster processor than my '040.  Maybe I just didn't mess around with the settings very much.

If you have a lower-spec system check out the MAS-Player.

Or if you don't hold your breath waiting around for it, the Prisma Megamix (announced two years ago, still not available) might be released sometime this century.  ;)

There's a few other soundcards and accessories available for playing .mp3's, check the BBOAH or amiga.resource.cx website.

Well i remember there being a datatype for MP3's. Still it'll be quite choppy unless you have something like a powerful CPU, a sound card or a MAS player to handle the decoding.

   You'll want to change the MIME Types settings in IBrowse.  For instance, my Preferences/Settings/General/MIME Types looks like this:

MIME Type:  audio / x-mpegurl
Extension:  m3u pls
Action:  External viewer
Viewer:  Programs:Creativity/Audio/Players/TuneNet/TuneNet
Arguments:  -browser -p5 -playlist %f >NIL:
