This is a MP3 Player hardware for the parallel port of the Amiga Computer. It plays any kind of MP3 files and MP3 radio streams (up to 192 kbps) without stressing the cpu.

 

MP3 decoder enables your Amiga to play MP3 music files on your hard disk without using your Amiga’s CPU to decode the MP3 files. This is very useful for Classic Amigas that do not have the power to play MP3 music.

 

Audio output is mixed in hardware between the Amiga and MP3 sound via a standard 3.5mm sound jack. MAS Player evolution features stereo RCA jacks to connect to the Amiga’s audio ports and route the Amiga sound through the MAS Player.

 

This hardware is compatible with the existing original MAS Player software. System requirements match the MAS Player software. 68020 or better CPU with at least 2MB of Fast Memory recommended.

 

Easy to set up. Anyway some knowledge of Amiga computer and Amiga system are required.

 

This listing is for MAS Player Pro2+ only! Type-C USB charger, jack, RCA cables and floppy disk with driver and software are not included!
