Mark,

I've been working on this, as has Maurice Rabb. Lots of caveats, and it only works on a Mac currently. Maybe someone with a brain could help me along with this, and get it to work cross platform as well.

The preliminary version is stored at: http://people.we.mediaone.net/trade/index.htm

The server that this file currently comes off of is pretty brain dead, so you may have to fiddle with the binary downloaded file. The file is of Aladdin stuff-it type.

I'd love to hear some ( constructive ) criticisms :-)

Good luck

I remember reading that someone on the list was working on a plugin primitive to allow QuickTime video to be displayed on the Squeak Display. I just read that QuickTime 4 (beta available off http://www.apple.com/quicktime/) includes MP3 playback. How hard would it be to get Squeak to play generic files through QuickTime (on platforms

that

support it)? Admittedly, a Squeak-based MP3 decoder would be more fun,

and

I do understand that MP3 isn't such great quality -- but there's a lot of MP3 files out there, and playing with them in Squeak would be cool.
