This code demonstrates how MPEG-Layer 3 (MP3) files are read by programs like WinAmp and Windows Media Player. Note this code uses no Windows API calls, DLLs, or OCXs. This is the *RAW*, *VERY UNREFINED* CODE for reading and playing MP3s. It contains no examples, but is based on FreeAmp, so if you want an example, FreeAmp is as close as you're going to come. I do plan on creating an example sometime later on, but for now, here's the code that everyone's wanted. =) I can't take credit for this code, though. The ORIGINAL MP3 decoding algorithms were written by the Fraunhaufer Institute. Oh yeah, while I'm at it, vote for me! =)
Note: Due to the size or complexity of this submission, the author has submitted it as a .zip file to shorten your download time. Afterdownloading it, you will need a program like Winzip to decompress it.Virus note:All files are scanned once-a-day by Planet Source Code for viruses, but new viruses come
out every day, so no prevention program can catch 100% of them. For your own safety, please:
Re-scan downloaded files using your personal virus checker before using it.
NEVER, EVER run compiled files (.exe's, .ocx's, .dll's etc.)--only run source code.
If you don't have a virus scanner, you can get one at many places on the net
including:McAfee.com

I have had problems with his morphyx wrapper source. I emailed him through PSC but no response yet. When you manually change to a higher bitrate than 128, it encodes 2x the speed or more. Wondering if it was an error in his c code or if it was something else. If anyone else has run into this, lemme know please...THANKS! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

This code only "sucks" to those who cant decipher it, i admit its fairly cryptic but if ya take ya time over learning the base ideas of the MPEG layer III format then you would understand it.. Sorry if im going off on one but I get fed up with Newbies who complain at code they dont understand plainly because it isn't as strait forward as PlayMp3Func()... BTW VERY interesting code :) (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
