MP3s

[djrikki]

Hi,

What kind of Mpeg Audio files does Hollywood currently support? Every MP3 I have thrown at it just results in IsMusic() returning Unknown. :S

Good question, this problem I found it when I wrote my Sirena Player, this instruction doesn't work as it must work.

@djrikki: I need more specific infos. On what platform does this error occur? Note that AROS currently doesn't support MP3 playback. On all the other platforms it should work but you need mpega.library.

AmigaOS 4.1, mpega.library v 2.4.

Since you did not supply any sample code that is failing, please try this:
---
f$=FileRequest("Select an MP3", "mp3")
ret, fmt$ = IsMusic(f$)
If ret=True
DebugPrint("Yes, this is a supported music file.")
Else
DebugPrint("No, this is NOT a supported music file.")
EndIf
DebugPrint("The format of this music file is: \""..fmt$.."\"")
---

What kind of output does this code give you (assuming you are choosing an .mp3 file)?
