JavaLayer 0.0.7

- We provide an API. Documentation is available in HTML format in the "documents" section.

- JavaLayer 0.0.7 contains significant improvements over version 0.0. The decoder is much more faster !

  • Huffman/Layer3 tables serialization added.
  • New buffers management.
  • Exceptions + Utils added.
  • Bugs fixed.

- Benchmarks added :

Welcome to Mat McGowan (UK) and Matthias Pfisterer (Germany) to the JavaLayer project !


06/01/99: JavaLayer 0.0

MP3toWAV conversion runs in Real Time under Symantec's JIT !!. We tried Just In Time Compiler Version 3.10.094(i) for JDK 1.1.x from Visual Cafe DE 3.0 (TrialWare). It decoded 3 minutes of a mp3 song in 3 minutes under an AMD K6-300. Anyway we still need help for fast mp3 decoding implementations ...


02/28/99: JavaLayer 0.0

Today we provide JavaLayer V0.0. It does not play any MP3 but it allows the MP3toWAV conversion. This is the first step in this project. We do it thanks to free mp3 ressources available on the net:

  • maplay for the object oriented coding (C++).
  • Fraunhofer IIS public mp3 sources (C).
  • wav format description from microsoft.
  • The MP3 decoder works now, but it is too slow to allow real time implementation. We have to find best algorithms to improve it.

    The New JAVA 2 platform allows the WAV format at 44kHz (JAVA 1 : 8kHz) so we are able to do a sound player. Moreover we intend to make the GUI player WinAmp-skins compatible.
