Type: mus/play

 EMPYGui24 is another user interface for the Eagleplayer V2.0+.
 It is based on a truecolor advertisement picture by Thomas Klingler
 for the commercial music player `EMPY`. All buttons, animations,
 fonts, code and whatever copyright and done by Henryk Richter.

 
 FEATURES

  - complete functionality of already available EMPY plus
    some new animations and extra toys like a shortcut
    bar for the most important engines
  - works in optimal quality on ANY screenmode, ranging
    from 2 to 16.7M colors, including HAM/HAM8 and EHB,
    thanks to guigfx.library`s fast high quality rendering
    techniques
  - stunning fast truecolor Spectrum Analyzer and Levelmeter,
    automatic realtime graphics conversion to available
    pixel format
  - graphics caching - fast switching between the different
    display modes after calculating them once
  - sophisticated speedy spectrum analyzer routines, 128 point
    32 bit FFT using Hanning windowing and logarithmic display
    scale with 35 dB dynamic range (slightly slower but more
    accurate FPU version available on request)


 REQUIREMENTS

  - an Amiga with 68020 CPU
  - OS 3.0
  - Eagleplayer V2.02 or better
  - guigfx.library V11
  - render.library V11
  - lots of memory for graphics rendering and caching (see below)


 SUGGESTED CONFIGURATION
  - MC 68030/50 MHz or better MC 68060
  - 6 MB free fast memory
  - graphics board running in 256 colors or better


 DISTRIBUTION/PRICE

  - free add on for Shareware music player


 INSTALLATION
 
  Just depack the archive and click onto the "Install" icon to 
  install/update EagleAMPGui.
  Own add on skins have to be copied into "Eagleplayer2:Engines/skins"
  following the conventions for WinAMP skins the graphics for each skin
  have to reside in a separate directory.


 NOTES

  - memory consumption:
     6 bit ECS/AGA (64 col,EHB,HAM6): 268 kB Chip, 1.16 MB Fast
     8 bit AGA     (256 col, HAM8)  : 350 kB Chip, 1.16 MB Fast
     8 bit RTG                      : 1.5 MB Fast
    16 bit RTG                      : 4.1 MB Fast
    24 bit RTG                      : 4.7 MB Fast
  - in high/truecolor modes CGfx and P96 seem to provide 32 bit Bitmaps
    regardless if the actual pixelformat might be less deep, so don`t blame
    EMPYGui24 or guigfx.library for these huge memory requirements
