1. Fast Loading of Large Mp3's (100.000 KB)
If I load very large mp3 files with bass library, size is about 0.1 MB, it
takes about 15 seconds to load that file. I want it to load instantly like
winamp does. Is there any possibility to load them
fast with this library?
I open file with BASS_StreamCreateFile ().

I may be way off base here, but doesn't winamp handle mp3's as streams?
With the load time you're talking about, it looks like your entire mp3
is being loaded into memory and that's not streaming, that's loading.
What does the rest of your code look like?

My code is like this:
--- INITIALIZE BASS LIBRARY:
procedure initialize_bass_library ()
--// Check that BASS 1.5 was loaded
if BASS_GetVersion() != MakeLong(1, 5) then
error ("BASS Version 1.5 was not Loaded, Incorrect BASS.DLL")
end if
--// Initialize digital sound - default device, 44100hz, stereo, 16 bits, no
syncs used
if not(BASS_Init(-1, 44100, or_all ({BASS_DEVICE_LEAVEVOL}),
getHandle(Main_window))) then
error("Can't Initialize Digital Sound System")
end if
setScrollPos (Loudness_slider, BASS_GetVolume ())
end procedure
--- PLAY FILE:
Cur_stream = BASS_StreamCreateFile(0, entry [ENTRY_FILENAME], 0, 0,
BASS_MP3_SETPOS)
if Cur_stream = 0 then
error ("Couldn't play file " & entry [ENTRY_FILENAME])
return
end if
if not(BASS_StreamPlay(Cur_stream, 0, BASS_SAMPLE_LOOP)) then
error ("Can't play file " & entry [ENTRY_FILENAME])
return
end if
I'm making some sort of winamp clone, so I need to be able to seek to
position in song.

I can see that you're using BASS_MP3_SETPOS. This greatly slows down loading
time as every frame must be read. Tone Skoda posted a message on the BASS
forum, i see. Ian showed a little trick to make it loook like it's loading
faster. You can view it over here:

This will probably wrap over, so make sure you get the whole thing.

Hi,
Take a look at this include.
I also made some routines to know the length of the track and the
elapsed time, but i've them in a friend's house, when i get there i'll
could send you if you want.
Best Regards,
Guillermo Bonvehi

I solved it. It looks like you don't need BASS_MP3_SETPOS flag to seek to
positions in songs at all.

I just found out I dond't need to use BASS_MP3_SETPOS flag to seek. Bass
documentatin isnt' so clear about this.

That was me :) I just thought I would try there also.

I already have that, I also know how to get bitrate of song.
I made some sort of Winamp clone, it only looks a little uglier that Winamp.
