My LIBMAD based jukebox project

Support a wider range of variable bit rate mp3 formats

Looking around I found another MP3 library, the "MPEG Audio Decoder" aka MAD! See the libmad project. It has much better VBR support, and better accuracy and speed.

Support for loss-less formats

I initially added support for WAVs, then I found out about FLAC, and use the flaclib to add support for FLAC files.

Support WSS sound cards under DOS

Wrote a WSS support package

Allow cross fading between tracks

Use a more asynchronous design, which places the decoded audio in a bigger buffer, allowing the next track to overlay the previous one.

Better buffering for less dropouts

The bigger buffer, with better control, provide few (if any) dropouts, even on a 200MHz Pentium class machine.

Network support & USB support (to allow external tracks to be used)

I ported the entire codebase to OpenBSD (and CygWin)

Improved user interface, previewed the tracks by an artist in a different window

Still under devolopment, but provides an easier to use front end.

Avoid having to edit/generate filelists containing which files are what

Now decodes ID3v1 tags in flac and mp3 files, and ID3v2 tags in mp3 files, using them for the artist and track names.
