Short: AmigaAMP: Enhanced WUP decoding engine Author: Thomas Wenzel (www.toms-home.de) Uploader: toms aminet upload toms-home de see note below Type: mus/play Version: 2.20 Architecture: ppc-warpup Note: Aminet admins only: Use address from [Uploader] field to contact me All others: Use the email address stated on my homepage www.toms-home.de External decoding engine for WarpUP version 2.20 ------------------------------------------------ AmigaAMP comes with built in support for mpega.library to allow playback of MP3 files even on slower 68k based Amigas. However, there's an alternative. It's called the "AmigaAMP decoding engine". It's more accurate than mpega.library and it has some extra features as well. The executable is called "External" and has to be placed in the "Engines" subdirectory of AmigaAMP. In the AmigaAMP config tool this new engine will show up on the system tab as "WarpUP" which you have to select. Autodetect might also work but once you know which engine you want to run it's better select it directly. The advantage of this engine over the built in mpega.library support is that the equalizer acutally works and the visualisation is more accurate as well. Also it's using floating point operations which gives higher audio quality than integer math. History ------- v2.20 - Skipping possibly corrupt frames at beginning of file when trying to determine bitrate. v2.19 - Fixed possibly uninitialised pointer causing crashes and/or corrupted memory - Better detection of average bitrate for files that don't have a XING header
