Anyone heared of an MP3 (if possible also Ogg Vorbis) player that can do crossfading in DOS or 3.1X?
I would really like to have one thats capable of that......The playlist capability that Xtc Player 0.97 has is very good and if that player could do crossfading it would be my choice.....

Heve you ever tried MPxPlay. It is my favortie MS-DOS Player: Has playlist capabilities, crossfading... here is the list of supported files (from readme.txt):

Well thanks for this answer.!
I didn“t know MPXPlay can do Ogg Vorbis and Crosfading bye now so I have downloaded and will try soon!
The last version of MPXPLAY I tried was version 1.47 and I remember I had trouble getting it to work.
Which of the 5 versions will work directly in plain 16 bit DOS?(MS version 6 or Caldera OpenDOS 7.02?) without installation problems you think?I will soon try the 486 version too, which seems very cool to me.

I use the DOS/4GW version of MpxPlay 1.50 and it works great for me in two PCs, both with MS-DOS 7. One coputer has an onboard SiS 7018 and worked thorugh SB 16 emulation (SB PRO emulation works too, but Mpxplay can't use more than 8bit 22khz with sbpro) and with a SoundBlaster Live! both with SB16 emulation and with the buit in support for SB Live/Audgy MpxPlay has.
Remember: if you download the DOS/4GW version, download Dos4gw.exe v1.97 too, and put DOS4GW.exe in a directory within your path, or in Mpxplay folder.

Ok thanks for the info, until now I havent worked with DOS4GW programs at all but I will try.
I have plenty computers and older hardware like original Soundblasters and other (ISA) soundcards which will work without emulations I guess, but thanks anyway!
