Do you have problems with music in your applications? Do you find difficulties in interrupt setup or in audio channel allocation? These problems don't need to exist anymore!! BFBPLAYMASTER.LIBRARY has born!! Read on... What is bfbplaymaster.library?? It's a library that uses sublibraries to playback different types of modules. All module formats are completely accessible through the master library. You do not need to know what you are tryng to play or is it even possible to start the playback. Bfbplaymaster.library does EVERYTHING for you. Functions are called with taglists so you do not need to mess up with the registers. A multiformat replayer library?? Which formats are supported?? Currently supported formats are: 1) ProTracker 2) MED / OctaMED 3) QuadraComposer 4) The Player 6.0a 5) The Player 6.1a 6) David Whittaker 7) GMOD 8) DigiBooster 9) PSID 10) THX Sound System 11) Oktalyzer 12) BMOD Remember that every replayer is in it's own sublibrary, so if you need to replay only one format in your application, you can easily call directly the corresponding sublibrary and forget the others. This saves space but does not allow you to call AllocateChannels() function. Quite a list. What is the needed hardware/software?? Only the ones your program needs. These libs are capable to run on all Amiga machines with KS1.3+ and mc68000 CPU. Note that some of the libs may require 020+ CPU, like THX sound system and some may need higher kickstart than v1.3. However, all things like that are exaplained in the documents coming with the developer package. Sounds interesting. How am I supposed to use those libs then?? When copying the developer package you receive complete autodocs, example sources and includes in both C and assembly language. They are free to use. (Autodocs are in AmigaGuide format :) FREE TO USE!! You mean NO registration fee?? Nope. You are allowed to use the libs in your NONCOMMERCIAL programs for free. Only the commercial use is not allowed without my permission. Too good to be true. There has to be a catch. No there isn't. I've seen enough programs that fail with music or play it wrong hanging or crashing my machine. This doesn't need to continue anymore... Oh yes, there was something. Because these are standard runtime libraries, you are not allowed to stop multitasking or make non-systemfriendly events, but I think that's not a problem, is it? WOW! I'm off to get those, but where they are? In the same place than other wonderful Amiga software, AMINET. Remember that there exist two packages: BFBPlayMasterUsr.lha mus/play Library based Multi-format moduleplayer. All Amigas. BFBPlayMasterDev.lha mus/play Dev. material for multiformat library BFBPlayMaster.library. Depending on your purposes download the right package or preferably both. The packages were uploaded into ftp.uni-paderborn.de on xxth of October 1996, so if you are not able to find the files from aminet soon after that, you are free to ask me to send them to you. Or in other case, if you find difficulties in downloading the files, for example your local aminet mirror does not work, then drop me a mail and I'll send them for you! That's no problem. Remember that a program worth using is a program worth rating. RATE!! ;) If you have anything to inquire, suggest or complain, feel free to contact me. The EMail address is but It'll expire on the 1st of June in 1997.
