in reply to MonkAmp

I tried using this on my NT4 machine, and I was quite impressed... at first. Then I opened an MP3 file and played it and the codec seemed to be having problems. The music was very scratchy and such. I wasn't sure if this was the codec or the source, so I tried opening another file... and the program ceased to function. It quickly crashed with a "failed to read hex location" type message.

    Hi Adam.

    Nice of you to try it out, I really didn't think that anyone would... :)

    I guess all limitations from amp11lib is inherited to the player. It's hard to say where your problems are. The binary is compiled with Win2k so maybe we've got problems there. Did you try the "source" version or the binary?

    I've set amp11lib to play to the "default audio output device" (whatever that is) and if you try the source version, you can try to change that.

    I don't think that amp11lib can handle variable bit rates, so maybe that's your problem.

    This was a "private" project of mine, so I have made no attempts to make the player work on any other configuration than mine. The MPEG::Amp11 lib should on the other hand work well (with its limitations) on any Win32 Perl. Maybe you can download and compile it on your system and run the examples, and see (listen) if the playback is ok.

    Update: perl2exe is bad... My compiled version crashes all the time. I've removed it.
