MP3 Music and the Apple //gs

// HUH??? is this actually possible to play downloaded MP3 music files from an
Apple IIgs?  YES, it is possible, using my file conversion method and the IIgs
application program: OverSampler.

Well, you do need either a Mac or a PC to do the MP3 file conversions. So, if
you have either to use - put them to work for your Apple IIgs needs!

Here's the first port of an MP3 music file I made for use with the IIgs and
OverSampler which you can download from the following ftp site URL.

ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net//pub/apple_II/incoming/OS.E1.SHK


Question: Does anybody know of a program on the Mac platform that will allow you
too edit MP3 files before doing such a conversion for playing on the Apple IIgs?


Answer: You might check www.versiontracker.com. Do a search (at the bottom of
the page) for "MP3". Also, I guess it depends on what kind of editing you want
to do.  You can use a program such as SoundApp to convert an mp3 into another
format such as AIFF or SDII and then edit it in just about any audio editor.
Then you can do something like a Bias Peak, etc. to all sorts of things to your
MP3.


Find out all about how it's done and how you can play any MP3 music file you can
download on your Apple IIgs (and in Stereo too) with even limited RAM using the
MP3 file conversion method that I'm writing an article about to present in the
Nov99 Issue of GS WorldView.

Until then *** Cheers, All Apple //'s Forever & Happy Halloween,

download MP3 files to have them ready and waiting for your listening needs with
your IIgs - after you read my article in the next issue of GS WorldView.

// Terror Techno - Goblin Gabber - Haunted House By Mateo Segadean

Here's a bloodthirsty gaggle of musicians just dying for you to hear their

hair.

If ambient doesn't make your mummy moan, check out Gigas' "The Eight Devils of
Kimon," a splendidly sinister techno tune.

Ah, but I sense you're looking for something...terrifying. Dare to hear
something that simply should not ever be downloaded when all alone in a dark
house at night? Many have heard Encomiast's "Without Fear of Wind or Vertigo,"
however, few have survived. Bwa hah hah!
