Mp3 ME Player changelog

PSP homebrew developer caliarbor has released a new version of Mp3 ME Player. In case you missed the previous releases, Mp3 ME Player is - as the title suggests - an MP3 player. It differentiates itself from the rest of the bunch by coming with an old-school DOS/ANSI layout. Here's the changelog for version 1.03 and v1.02:Added an asterisk in front of the current playing track in the browser pane. While the tracks is playing it will be green. If paused it will be yellow. Once the track is completed it will go to red.Dropped USB support. It didn't prove to be very useful and at times caused issues.Optimized source and made it easier to follow. There is almost zero latency when switching MP3 tracks now. This is the result of hardcoding the sampling frequency to 44100Hz and thereby not using the libmad library for a lot of overhead calculations. Also, file and ID3 tag data are parsed when the application is started.Corrected a lot of bugs in id3.c. Files with multiple versions of ID3 tags were being parsed incorrectly as having v1.x tags.Added support for ID3 JPEG cover art. Graphics.h was modified so that the LoadJpeg function would also take a "file offset" as an arguement. This allows for cover art to be easily read with jpeg_stdio_src.There is no longer a "covers" folder. Cover art is only displayed if present in the ID3 tag, in JPEG format, and with the dimensions height

Looks like you guys enjoyed caliarbor's PSP Mp3 ME Player, huh. If that's the case, then you'll surely be glad to know that he works quick on his feet and has now released another version since his first release just a couple of days ago.

Mp3 ME Player v1.01 provides for some cool additions such as four new player modes: Single, Sequential, Random, Repeat. Apart from this, he's also put in a nifty volume/track control via the analog nub. He's also changed Start to Toggle USB, and the Default CPU from 80MHz to 37MHz.

Anyway, you can bet this won't be the last of the improvements he'll bring our way. You can find out more at the readme included in the zipfile so make sure you do check out that out.

We know that there's already a bevy of homebrew MP3 players out there for the Sony PSP, but that's not stopping developer caliarbor from creating one of his own. Named Mp3 ME Player, this one comes in the basic DOS/ANSI format, but can play your music files as competently as most others out there.

The developer says this app is clocked at 80mhz, but can perhaps be set lower with some tinkering. The only file type it runs is MP3, so you can forget about other formats at least for now.

The controls for Mp3 ME Player are as follows:

• Left/Right move up or down 5 places in listing
• Up/Down move up or down 1 place in listing
• Cross - play highlighted file
• Square - Pause current mp3
• Triangle - Rescan directory
• Select - Toggle USB
