Introduction
------------
You want an audio player that really makes use of your high spec Amiga?
Here it is!

AmigaAMP is a GUI based audio player using the amp decoding engine for
MPEG audio playback, libsndfile for AIFF, WAV and 8SVX and libflac for
FLAC. Playback is done through the AHI audio system.

This software is provided 'as is' free of charge. No ads, no toolbars,
no subscriptions required! If you like it - use it. If you don't like it -
use something else. :-)

AmigaOS 4.0 or higher
PowerPC processor

Documentation
-------------
This version DOES NOT fully replace AmigaAMP 2. It's a successor with
some new features added and some old legacy code removed. It only
supports AHI for playback. All decoders are built in, so there's no
"External Engine" any more.

The Record function will automatically record any shoutcast/icecast
stream when switched on. It will create files in the directory specified
as "Rec Path". It can be switched on or off at any time. It will NOT record
normal files, just shoutcast/icecast internet streams.

Sorry, no further documentation at the moment. Just play around with it
a little bit -- I'm sure you'll figure out what it does.
