Title: MO3 specification and decoding code source updated for 2.4 encoder
Post by: lclevy on July 19, 2009, 15:13:49

Dear all,

for your information, the (un)official MO3 specification and decoding code source is updated today for MO3 encoder v2.4.

I know it is a bit late...

Maybe someone would write a MO3 loader for Milky Tracker.
It is really a good think Milky Tracker is now open source !

Hi Laurent, thanks for the heads up.

We actually looked into this when you mentioned the first release of your MO3 specs; The main stumbling block is this:

The samples can be compressed using OGG, MP3, and 2 kind of specific lossless algorithms.

To properly support MO3 would require support for the above mentioned codecs, and doing this in a platform independant manner would be time consuming - especially since pailes hates using dynamic libraries ;)

However, it still remains on Milkytracker's TODO list.
