I spent some time yesterday setting up streaming MP3 playback (M3U) on my PowerBook 520C - 25 MHz 68LC040 with 20 MB RAM and System 7.6 and http://www.jwgdesign.com/mpegdec/
It DID work, though the sound quality was poor trying to playback 192k MP3 files and MpegDec 3.1.1 probably used up about 95% CPU time - meaning the computer couldn't do anything else while music was playing.
I've come to appreciate how well MyTunesRSS 3 works at streaming my iTunes library from my G4 - easy setup, less than 1% CPU useage and the free version meets all my needs. http://www.codewave.de/products/mytunesrss/
Anyone have better success on similar hardware?
