Welcome to AmigaAMP!
Last update of this page: 22.05.23
This page is about AmigaAMP, a powerful realtime multi format audio player for Amiga computers.
It is based on the
amp decoding engine by Tomislav Uzelac and can do realtime decoding on 50 MHz processors
and up. AmigaAMP is a completely free and non-commercial project. Fraunhofer IIS and THOMSON multimedia
grant a free license to use their MPEG Layer-3 audio compression technology
for this kind of software.

ReAction rules!
The player comes with a fully fontsensitive, style guide conformous Amiga
ReAction user interface and features multithreaded non-blocking windows
for main interface, stream information and playlist.

WinAMP looks nice, too!
Too dull? Well, the same executable can be made look and behave like
WinAMP just by ticking
a checkbox in the configuration window. It can load all the WinAMP
skins and can display a realtime spectrum
analyzer.
680x0 Realtime Decoding
AmigaAMP can do realtime decoding even on slower 680x0 processors using
Stephane Tavenard's highly optimized mpega.library. On a 68040-40 you can
play Layer3 at half the sampling rate and with reduced quality. Full
quality and sampling rate can be achieved with a 68060-50.

OS4 native
AmigaAMP 3 is completely AmigaOS4 native giving you the performance
you'd expect from a fast PowerPC system.
It can play MPEG Layer-2, Layer-3, OGG, M4A, FLAC, AIFF, WAV and MOD/S3M/XM/IT
through built-in decoders and lots more via TuneNet plugins.

PowerUP- (only up to v3.26) and WarpUP Compatible
In addition to the 68k decoder AmigaAMP comes with two PPC native decoding
engines one for PowerUP and one for WarpUP. Both engines feature high quality
realtime decoding of Layer2 and Layer3 streams, graphic equalizer settings and
full visualisation.
On a PPC604e-200 you can play two 128kbps Layer3 streams with equalizer
switched on and crossfade between the two without taking much CPU load!
The realtime analyzers will continue to run smoothly without any latency
problems at all.

AHI Compatible
AmigaAMP uses the widespread AHI Audio System at device access level. You
can use it with any AHI compatible soundcard as well as with the original
Amiga audio chipset.
