Err.... I'm a leet hacker or whatever.. but i dunno.. but listen.. i wrote me an MP3 player in VB.. I'm looking for well, users.. and possibly some people to assist with coding.. its done and all and i update it when i want to but anywaysi dont know what to say about it.. except goto http://slate.dynip.com/smp3p

Give me some feedback and crapola.. i use mine over winamp.. the main reason i wrote it is cause I didnt want to use an AOL MP3 player (Nullsoft - makers of winamp were bought by AOL).. Plus, i like the idea of a challenge.. Also, if you know of a good mp3 decoder/player file thing.. either DLL or activex control or whatever that I can use for free LEGALLY :P let me know..


Thanks in advance for feedback, and cr0bar, if you don't like this, delete it.. I have no prob with that

Winamp still owns, even though it is owned by aol. Good switch to the fraunhofer.

Anyway, DirectShow can decode MP3s if you string the appropriate filters together...

BTW, anyone know a proggy that will let me rip music to some format better whan MP3.

Like the MPEG-2 equivalent, AAC, which i hear sounds indistinguishable from the original with just 64Kbps, or even the audio compression from MPEG-4?

I've heard some newer versions of Nero let you rip to VQFs. They're smaller and higher quality, just take a little more work from your processor to decode.

That didn't work very well. I tried installing on Win2K and it just didn't work. Most of it seemed to be with your attempt to use the common dialog stuff. After it failed installation, it didn't seem to put the executable anywhere.

Do you have source code around? I'd like to look at it. If you need coding help, I'd be willing. Plus, I know C++ and DirectX decently well.

Ogg Vorbis sounds better than mp3 at lower bitrates. You could think of it as the next generation open source mp3 format. www.vorbis.com

How does ogg vorbis compare to, for example, AAC in terms of quality?
