Daniel, re: 486 and playing mp3s You didn't answer my challenge, but here is the "proof" anyway ;) Description from site: mpg123.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ mpg123 is a real time MPEG Audio Player for Layer 1,2 and Layer3. (MPEG 2.0 with Layer1/2 not heavily tested) Tested with Linux, FreeBSD, SunOS4.1.3, Solaris 2.5, HPUX 9.x and SGI Irix. Plays Layer 3 in stereo on an AMD-486-120Mhz or (of course) a faster machine. (Just for info: mpg123 plays an average 128bps stream, with about 66% in full quality on my AMD 486-133MHz machine) Note: this player is only for non commercial use. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ On a 133MHz 486, mp3 playback requires only 66% CPU utilization. This fits well with my own experience that my old 100MHz 486 occasionally spiked to 90-some % (as shown in "top"). It should be noted that mpeg123 is only available for Linux, although I see a "pure Java" version is now available on the site. I am going to download it and see if I can get it to run on Windows ;) -fyo
