Hi guys..

This is the second update of the Audio MPEG decoder in CP.
You need CP2alpha++ and the IT player beta release 3 for it. (CPITPL3B.ZIP)

copy the dlls in the cp directory and add the following lines to the
[sound] section of CP.INI if you have not done so already:

ampegtomono=off
ampegmaxrate=48000

in case you have a slower computer you might want to adjust these settings.

what is new in update 2?

  -MP3 .WAV file support.
    I didn't know there is a RIFF WAVE type for Layer 3 Audio. More
    surprising: My Windows 95B Media Player plays them... :)
    And converts them. Even the Fraunhofer IIS 2.5 extensions...
    What's happening in my Win95???!! ;)
    Anyway. I just did a little WAV encapsulator for MP3 files and included
    it (mp3wav.exe) along with the source code (compile with
    wcl386 /bt=nt /l=nt mp3wav). I don't know much about the
    form block extensions, so if anyone wants to change anything, it's
    freeware... I like the MP3s much more in a RIFF cage! And this program
    keeps the song information, but puts it in a separate RIFF block at
    the end of the file, so that every program should be able to read it.
    Oh yes, the converter is a Win95 textmode program.. because of the
    long filenames. btw: long filenames, do you already have the
    long filename support for the fileselector?
    I wont take responsibility for anything this program does. use it
    at your own risk!

    With this driver update CP will also play Layer 3 WAVs.

what is new in update 1?

  -downmixing
  -little speedups and better use of processor time
  -seeking fixed
  -panning
  -surround
  -info from tags visible in fileselector

bye
