Audio-Player: AmigaAMP 2.18, inclusive AmigaOS 4-Engine
Thomas Wenzel has published a new version of his Audio-Player AmigaAMP. The distribution has been divided to the base packet (AmigaAMP.lha) and several archives for the engines. The base packet now works with mpega.library and sndfile.library. The so called Decoding Engines add additional functions, e.g. high decoding quality, a graphical equalizer (currently only for MP2/MP3) and accurate analyzer.
Currently there are engines for the following architectures:
- m68k-amigaos - Classic AmigaOS 3.x
It is not meant for use in original 68k Amigas but for emulators like WinUAE / Amiga Forever
- ppc-powerup - AmigaOS 3.x with PowerUP or MorphOS
This has been the first implementation. It works directly over ppc.library calls from AmigaAMP and therefore is called 'internal'.
- ppc-warpup - AmigaOS 3.x with WarpUP
Technically seen it is a seperate executable which runs as normal AmigaOS Task and behaves like a Plugin. Therefore it is called 'external', just like the 68k and OS4 version, too.
- ppc-amigaos - AmigaOS 4 final
Works just like the WarpUP and 68k versions but was specially translated for OS4. This is the first public version and may still contain bugs. But all beta testers have had no serious problems anymore. There were few crashes but without obvious reasons.
If anybody can reproduce bugs or crahes then the author can make available the special debug version. A GrimReaper-Log inclusive Stack Trace of this debug version then should be sufficient to specify the problem.

WinUAE: MP3-encoding with support for multiple processors
Bernd Roesch's winuae_lame for the Amiga emulator WinUAE (starting from version 1.3.4) allows the use of multiple processors and cores when encoding MP3 files. At the bottom of it is the use of the native LAME version for Windows.
Here, each launched winuae_lame process searches for a free processor. Thus, with four processor cores, three of them can create an audio file in MP3 format each, while the fourth continues to be fully available for the Amiga emulation.
Included in the archive is, in addition to the Readme file with the installation instructions, the source code as well. This shows how to query messages of a Windows program under AmigaOS, and can serve as a guideline for other programs with multiple processor support.
But reportedly, instead of using Windows programs, you could also write your own program code in alib.
Version 1.3.4 of WinUAE is required, since only starting from this is it possible to obtain the corresponding Windows path information for an Amiga file name.
It must be pointed out that files within hardfiles cannot be used for this purpose, but Amiga drives are required which can be accessed from the Windows side as well.
The author wishes everyone a happy new year.
