Introduction to MultiAMP


Reasons for writing this program

Well.. I wanted to do something interesting! (I hope MAMP is interesting a lot!)
I also wanted to show that DOS can be multimedia environment!


Features overview

Multiamp key features are fast operating and small overall size.
It uses a lot of libraries to provide wide support for sound formats.
Libraries related info is listed in Credits section.

MultiAMP is multiplatform multimedia player which supports most of popular audio formats.
This program is free and will be free!

And as project grows MultiAMP has got native Linux and window$ port and is now developed as Open Source!
