Short: MPEG audio player with GUI (68k/PPC)
Author: Thomas Wenzel (tom@toms-home.de)
Uploader: Thomas Wenzel (tom@toms-home.de)
Version: 2.8
Type: mus/play
Introduction
------------
You want an 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. Additionally it
can make use of sndfile.library to play AIFF, WAV and 8SVX files. Playback
is done through the AHI audio system.
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-II, 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 (optional)
- guigfx.library v16
- render.library v30
For popup menus (optional)
- popupmenu.library v9
For AIFF, WAV and 8SVX support (optional)
- sndfile.library v1
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
- Shoutcast support (internet radio)
- support for: -> file needed:
* hardware based decoders
-----------------------
- MPEGit (MPEG audio decoder module for Prelude) -> libs:prelude.library
- MHI compatible devices -> libs:mhixxx.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
Limitations
-----------
- No realtime spectrum when using AmigaOS 3.0 without gfx card
- No visualisation when using hardware based decoders
History
-------

PIPE-handler
- faster scrolling through the playlist
- extended playlist saving format, storing the duration as well
- new config save format (readable text)
