Question: A (viable?) answer for Tim Whitman: The samples are picked directly from the MP3 decoding process. Justin, isn't it? Asked by Ilyes Gouta (41.230.25.x) on September 19 2009, 8:53am Reply on September 19 2009, 2:39pm: Right ;) Way to keep me on my toes... Comment... Question: Did you guys use DirectSound to create the spectrum analyzer in Winamp? If not, did you capture samples from the soundcard? Asked by Tim Whitman (76.124.95.x) on September 18 2009, 2:09pm Reply on September 19 2009, 2:39pm: Winamp would have access to the samples.. Originally the spectrum analyzer (and EQ for that matter) actually grabbed information from the frequency domain of the mp3 decoding, so it didn't require doing any sort of FFT etc. For audio CDs, we'd play them and then sample the audio device for visualization, I think (using waveInOpen() etc).. Comment... Question: I wonder what your media player of choice is then...

Question: Does VC6 create machine code as optimized as VS2008, for example? Hasn't compiler technology improved? Asked by Will (24.234.128.x) on September 15 2009, 3:12pm Reply on September 16 2009, 1:56pm: No, it doesn't. Probably the biggest gains to be had by using more recent compilers are that they can output SSE(x) code etc. But we use ICC with VC6 for performance sensitive stuff, and it seems to be a very modern compiler. Comment... Question: Are you guys ever gonna develop a music player? Winamp is still my player of choice, but it's starting to show its age... Asked by boing (79.119.44.x) on September 15 2009, 4:08am Reply on September 16 2009, 1:55pm: We've thought about it, but meh... sorta been there done that feeling. Comment...
