There's not much new... Features in brief ----------------- - FREEWARE! No beta, no nag requesters and no expiry date! - online help - autodetects and plays several soundfiles, up to 16 bit / 56 kHz / stereo - full Workbench support (but not Intuition and no GUI) - always correct playback speed, even for sounds >28 kHz - realtime playback from harddisk, optimized assembler routines - optional 14 bit output (less noise but not as good as true 16 bit) - Supports AHI and soundcards (Prelude recommended!) - automatic or manual audio filter control - plays mono sounds on *both* channels, not only on the left one - plays (and loops) files that are larger than memory - preloading for exactly timed start of playback - fast µ-Law/A-Law decompression - system friendly audio channel allocation - optionally dump the output into a file (can be used to convert sounds) - supported Filetypes are: * Microsoft RIFF-WAVE (.WAV) mono/stereo, 8/16 bit, linear/uLaw/ALaw/ADPCM * Creative Voice File (.VOC) mono/stereo, 8/16 bit, linear * Sun/NeXT Audio (.AU) mono/stereo, 8/16 bit, linear/uLaw * MacroSystem Audio (.MAUD) mono/stereo, 8/16 bit, linear/uLaw * Apple/SGI/Amiga AIFF (.AIFF) mono/stereo, 8/16/24 bit, linear/uLaw/ALaw * Amiga IFF-8SVX (.IFF) mono/stereo, 8 bit, linear/FibDelta/ExpDelta * Any raw sound data as long as it matches one of the following: - 8 bit signed - 8 bit unsigned - 16 bit signed, Intel format (LSB first) - 16 bit signed, Motorola format (MSB first) - 14 bit µ-Law - 14 bit A-Law - supported output devices are: * Native Amiga chipset (Paula) 8 bit * Native Amiga chipset (Paula) 14 bit * Native Amiga chipset (Paula) 14 bit calibrated (Christian Buchner) * MacroSystem Maestro Pro 16 bit 44.1kHz and 48kHz only * IFF-8SVX file dump 8 bit * AHI audio system 16 bit * Prelude 16 bit What's new? v1.10 * New features: - µ-Law and A-Law AIFF support - time counter - QUIET option * Dropped features: - removed the 68000 version - keep using Play16 v1.8 if you still haven't got a faster processor! v1.9 * New features: - 24-bit AIFF support, playback will still be 16-bit though - more verbose error reporting why a file can't be played - recompiled with SAS/C 6.50 - OUTNUM option to select among different outputs of AHI devices * Dropped features: - removed the screenmode hack --------------------------------- In German ------------------------------- Readme.1st ---------- Dies ist ein KLEINES Update, viele Neuigkeiten gibt's nicht!
