- This is the version 0.7 release of the MPEG Audio Layer II decoder
- by Fredrik Noring and Tomas Berndtsson.
-
- Several features have been added including:
-
- * Handshaked DMA transfers
- * GEM interface, also working as ACC
- * Several new options, including pause and stop
- * Sync detection and recovery routines
- * Clock detection
- * Count-down display
- * MiNT support, and several other systems
-
- Although this program has been tested successfully with various MPEG songs,
- no warranties comes with the program. We are not responsible for anything
- it might do to you or your system. If it works well for you, we'll gladly
- take the credit for it.
-
- The program is a standalone program and it is also designed to work as
- an accessory. Simply rename the PRG to ACC and put it where the rest of
- your accessories are.
-
- The player has been tested with both MultiTOS and oAESis running under
- MiNT version 1.12, with and without NVDI 4.11. Currently, the resource
- file is only made for interlaced mode on RGB's and non-doublelined mode
- on VGA's. The program still works in other resolutions though.
-
- The program detects if there is an external clock available to the
- computer and uses it if so. Otherwise, the internal clock is used
- and a frequency conversion (linear interpolation) to 49.17 kHz is done by
- the DSP (this reduces sound quality significantly).
- Note that the frequency conversion takes some DSP time, thus high
- bitrate (typically 192kbit/s) MPEGs may not work without an external clock.
-
- In this version, the program will assume that the external clock, if any,
- is a 44.1 kHz. If a 48 kHz, or any other, is used the song will probably
- be played at that frequency. Other frequencies than 44.1 kHz might work,
- we haven't tested it yet. The lyrics function is not yet implemented.
-
- There is no special mailing list for this product, but the most appropriate
- mailing list for asking questions or giving great ideas is
- nocrew-nojunk@dd.chalmers.se.
- You can also contact the authors of the program, see addresses below.
-
- We are interested in what kinds of MPEG files that work, so if you are
- able to play songs with bitrates lower than 128 kbit/s, or frequencies
- others than 44.1 kHz, please let us know. Also, if you run it in other
- systems than the normal and the ones listed above, such as N.AES, XaAES,
- MagiC, whatever, let us know.
-
- Thanks to Anders Eriksson for his work on the resource,
- even if we changed most of your original resource.
-
- Enjoy,
