He/him. This is one of my alter egos in the retro world. Read about this instance on front page. My goal is to be able to post here from a 286* running DOS. Might be a while..

and enthusiast with a craving for retro (mostly PC) hardware. Four kids and a wonderful patchwork family.

player UI shootout! An AMD Am5x86 at 120MHz with a Gravis Ultrasound PnP playing back a VBR (~254Kbps) 44.1KHz MP3 file at full quality.

The contenders: QuickView Pro version (dvpro), Digital Sound System 3.1 (dss) and MPXPlay 1.67 (mpx). The file: Astral Projection's "Bizarre Contact" from the album "Ten".

Enjoy these clips :D


Alt...QuickView Pro: file listing in the background and a simple status dialog in the foreground showing file information and the playback time.

Alt...MPXPlay: File/directory browser below (mostly removed from the video), spectrum analyzer and various playback information on top.

Alt...DSS: VU meters for left/right and playback information along with a lot of information about the file and the sound device.

Alt...DSS: Spectrum analyzer, plus technical information as in the other video.
