[PD] mp3 (layerII) or .wav/.aif stereo player!

[Björn Eriksson]

Hello,
chiming in on the mp3-file playing topic aswell...
I encountered exactly the same problem trying to play a mp3 file a while
ago with the object [mp3play~], receiving this error text:

==============
error: : no such object
Layer II not supported!

EOF: bang
==============

which is maybe not so surprising as we all have heard that mp3 should be
the layer III to be played. But how is it possible to change an mp3 that
has layer II format into a layer III format?  Seems most mp3´s are in the
layer II standard. My try was with this mp3-file (found on UBU.com)
http://ubumexico.centro.org.mx/sound/broodthaers_marcel/Broodthaers-Marcel_Interview-With-A-Cat.mp3

I am attaching the help-patch for [mp3play~], which I found in IEMLIB
folder.

If there only where ogg vorbis files out there it would be easy to just use
[oggread~] which seems to work fine.

I am really curious about the layer II / III mystery. Also I have heard
that layer III "are" the mp3 standard, and layer II not. Just
don´t understand the error I am getting.    (I am on a win xp machine, but
the same happens also on a win 7 machine)


All the best,
Björn Eriksson
