Introduction
------------
You want an MPEG audio player that really makes use of your high spec
Amiga? Here it is!
AmigaAMP is a GUI based MPEG audio player using mpega.library on the 68k
processor or the amp decoding engine in the PPC version. Sound is played
back using the AHI audio system. AmigaAMP is NOT another frontend for the
CLI based mpega. Anyway, if you've got problems not related to the user
interface but with AHI, AsyncIO or mpega.library, PLEASE contact the
corresponding author directly. I wouldn't be able to help you in this
case.
Important: AmigaAMP is optimized for visual appearance and accuracy, not
for extremely low cpu load!
What does that mean? Well...if there's a percussion hit, you see it on the
analyzer immediately. Not half a second later, not half a second earlier.
People who say "I don't care about this, I just want to see some movement in
the display" should use another player :-)
However, if anyone has a fast PowerPC and a fast graphics card which ain't
got nothing to do but run the PPC version of Heretic, AmigaAMP is just
right :)
Requirements (not included in this archive!)
--------------------------------------------
AmigaOS 3.0 or higher
68030-50MHz processor or better
mpega.library (Aminet:util/libs/mpega_library.lha)
asyncio.library (Aminet:dev/c/AsyncIO.lha)
AHI audio system (Aminet:mus/misc/ahiusr.lha)
For most of the skins:
- picture.datatype v43
- ilbm.datatype v44
- bmp.datatype v40
For the guigfx loading routines
- guigfx.library v16
- render.library v30
Recommended
-----------
Prelude soundcard
PowerUP and ppc.library v46
AmigaOS 3.1 (OS3.1 or CGFX is needed for the internal spectrum analyzer!)
Features
--------
- FREEWARE! No nag requesters and no expiry date!
- GadTools based font sensitive user interface
- Alternatively WinAMP compatible user interface
- Fast, synchronous spectrum analyzer (almost no latency)
- Workbench application (you can drop icons on its window)
- Easily configurable
- AHI device-level access (uses default audio mode automatically)
- ID3 tag editor (artist, title, albm, etc.)
- Visualisation plugin system
- support for: -> file needed:
* hardware based decoders
-----------------------
- MPEGit (MPEG audio decoder module for Prelude) -> libs:prelude.library
* software based decoders
-----------------------
- internal PowerUP decoding engine (amp 0.7.6) -> Engines/Internal
- mpega.library (either PowerUP, WarpUP or 680x0) -> libs:mpega.library
- external decoder plugin (based on whatever) -> Engines/External
History
-------
v2.7 - skin support for playlist window
- non-interrupted playback when opening the config window
- waveform data is now available for plugins as well
- shift-click in the analyzer display changes its resolution
- pulldown menus for skins and plugins
- during uniconify the skin will only be reloaded if nessecary
- new AREXX commands: FFWD and REW
- playlist loading via AREXX fixed
- external decoder type will be displayed in the engine cycle gadget
- fixed some bugs in the backdrop/immovable window routines
- the analyzer peak dots will now be displayed in the right color
- now using guigfx for loading the images, set ToolType NOGUIGFX if
you don't want that
- asyncio.library usage can be disabled by setting NOASYNCIO
- better click reduction for MPEGit
- filenames being passed to AmigaAMP when starting it a second time
now may contain spaces
- better detection of MPEG streams that have a text header in front
of the stream data
