Yes !! listen music with Amiga is possible !!
Just to let you know that not only .mod can be listened with Amiga ,
if you have some mp3 , just convert them with GOLDWAVE wich support Amiga .iff in mono and at 28khz and you'll be surprised by the result !! Thanks to Dlfrsilver from Amiga Museum Last edited by lolafg; 16 January 2011 at 11:01. |

28kHz perhaps is what you meant?

At least an A1200 can handle 16bit 44kHz stereo (aiff, wav, ...). So you don`t need to go down to 8svx. Of course file size is larger.

Does anyone know of a program that can play streaming 8SVX or WAV files on a 68000 Amiga?

On the stores does exists any hardware for A1200/A600 that can permit us to listen mp3 without any conversion?

Play16 should run on 68000. Requirements are: Kickstart/Workbench 2.04
For mp3 there exits the MasPlayer hardware or differnt soundcards support it. 68000 version of Play16 has dropped with V1.9, so the last 68k version is 1.8. However, there are a lot of sound file palyer on aminet. For example if you need a GUI then HippoPlayer would be nice. Last edited by TCD; 16 January 2011 at 20:37. Reason: Back to back posts merged.

daxb, can you please send me your working 68000 version of Play16 please? You don't think I would have asked this question if there was something on Aminet I could use, do you?

@Cammy,
I have uploaded to the Zone Matt Cartlidge's Huge Base V2.1b distribution disk, which contains Play16 v1.6. Huge Base Copyright notice: Quote:

Okay, I've found Play16 v1.8 archive which contains the latest 68000 version.
Uploading it to the Zone now... Edit: Zoned! |

Just a side note, on converting to 8 bit GoldWave adds distortion to the end of the sample (song). This can make fadeout endings of songs sounds much more distorted than in other Wave editors (or Sox, which I use). So add a few seconds of silence to the end before resampling.
I use Foobar2000/Save As .wav for a bunch of songs. Then the songs can be batch-converted to 8 bit with a Sox commandline. |

Hippoplayer streams samples and plays mod files on 68000 amigas. There are kickstart 1.3 and 2.0+ versions. It has a playlist and features like most mod players and should be all that you need. It can also play as a background process without showing a GUI if necessary. I'm not sure if it handles WAV files natively - probably not.

Thanks Prowler, I have installed Play16 000 on my A600 and it works. Unfortunately the 22kHz 16bit Stereo .WAV files I have sound terrible through it. Perhaps it's because it resorts to "Half playback rate on". Through any player on the A1200 they sound beautiful. They're just some tracks I ripped from my CDs through a Linux program. I think I'll need to find something that can rip to IFF for the PC, hopefully Aros has something. Then I'll just rip them again to 8bit 8SVX. I'd rather use something like HippoPlayer with its playlist anyway.

It can seem not related, but has any noticed the difference listening music with the sheilding on and with it off?
I was using AmigaAmp to listen Mp3, and it was playing great. Recently I've taked off the shielding and it sounds very bad.... is it just me or has any noticed it? |

The problem/limitation is the hardware (68000 and Paula). Natively you can play "only" 8bit 28kHz stereo. 16bit needs hardware extension (soundcard, masplayer). Without (not natively) 14bit 56kHz stereo is the maximum. That needs faster CPU and (recommended) CyberSound calibration (see Play16 archive). However, Play16 and HippoPlayer are the best programms for that. A must-have IMHO. Best solution is a good soundcard and a decent CPU.

From what you say, it sounds like even simple converting to 28kHz 8-bit would sound better on 68000, usually it's half-decent with the only big aberrations appearing on "quiet" songs, "someone singing the letter s", crash cymbals, and strings. "Songs usually made for the trunk woofers in your car" (you know the type) will sound spot on. I've thought about this before when I was coding my .wav-converter for Scoopex. Because even 28kHz 9-bit would make a huge difference, I think! This would be accomplished with a converter from 16-bit (gained down to 9-bit) to two 8-bit .wavs for left, two for right and the Amiga could simply play 2x2 8-bit samples with DMA (forming 9-bit stereo sound with hardware mixing) and extremely little CPU time wasted. Seems a better solution to me than these modulation-based and realtime-buffer-converting things and having to cripple the sound if you happen to want to use the Amiga while listening |

if you have Hippoplayer.
you can change the music files with itunes to aiff files. it works sounds good too. burning files to a CD, and that's it [ Show youtube player ] |

If you want to play audio CD`s as RAW, AIFF or WAVE file the easies way (I know) is using CDDA-FileSystem (Aminet). Just insert a CD and you get each track as a file (play, copy, what you want to do). No need to convert.
