Hello, I was wondering what people are using to do playlists with mad, maybe xhippo? I'm using Linux/KDE. And I love MAD, the sound is noticeably "cleaner". Not sure how else to describe it. Thanks!

I use the filesystem as a playlist, with symlinks for various cross-categories. I then usually use madplay's shuffle mode to mix things up, or sometimes I just play through a single album using the filenames sorted into track order.
I like GUIs, but as you might guess I also often prefer alternatives. :-)
There has been one proposal to add some kind of option similar to mpg123's -@ playlist option to read a list of filenames from another file. Does anyone else also like this idea?

When in_mad is set to output in 24 or 32 bits the vis displays in winamp are quite messy. I'd assume this is because most winamp vis plugins expect 16 bit data.
I think it could probably be fixed by writing 16 bit data to the vis routines while still writing 24 or 32 bit data to the output. I started to try it myself, but I do not currently have the proper tools to build mad. I futzed with it a bit it looked like it would take more than a little work to make MAD friendly with MSVC.
So my questions are: 1. Do you(Rob) have the time or desire to try changing the vis output? 2. Is it currently possible to build in_mad on a windows box? If so which port of gcc do I need, and do you know where I can get it?
Thanks,
John Stewart

Yes, you can compile it with Cygwin ( http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ ).

Yep.

There are a few mad hackers out there who've made it work, but it's far easier to use GCC.
So my questions are:
- Do you(Rob) have the time or desire to try changing
the vis output?
I have desire, but there are other things I'd rather work on first.
- Is it currently possible to build in_mad on a windows box?

Yes, get Cygwin from:
Building is as easy as ./configure && make.
Also, you may want to join the developer mailing list (mad-dev).
