Fed up of using the CLI to play mp2/mp3 files with the excellent mpega?
Well, here's a simple answer, an arexx requestor GUI for mpega.
It's no ClassAct GUI, but it will certainly do for playing mpeg audio tracks
without any hassle of typing anything in other than maybe "rx mpeGUI.rexx".


Requirements: - mus/play/mpega.lha version 2.4 from Aminet
              - util/rexx/RexxReqTools.lha also from Aminet
              - sys:rexxc/rx   \
              - c:run           |
              - c:break         |- All basic OS2+ files
              - c:status        |
              - c:wait         /

Usage: - Install rexxreqtools.library from the RexxReqTools.lha in libs:,
          and ONLY install reqtools.library in libs: if you don't already
          have that library installed.
       - Select which mpega version is best suited to your processor,
          rename it to just "mpega" and place it in c:.
       - Click on the mpeGUI.rexx icon or type into a shell "rx mpeGUI.rexx"
          to start the GUI.
       - The buttons available allow you to change the settings in the
          requestor set the way the mpeg audio track is played, the khz
          playback, mono or stereo and the sound quality enhancement.

Basically, if you can use mpega with the CLI, this script makes it a doddle.


Have fun :-)
