I'll top post on this one. The main difference between Audion and
Moreamp is that Audion is no longer being developed. Moreamp also
supports FLAC which I fully support and is a lossless format being
developed under the GNU license. I've run into several problems myself
with Moreamp loading too many FLAC files and jumping ahead instead of
playing the first song. Let's face it at 0.1 development it's still in
Beta stage. Still it has improved from the previous release. Currently
running it on a iBook G3 900mz w/ 624mg RAM, and a Mac Mini 1.46GHz w/
1gig RAM. I'll be posting my comments at Source Forge this weekend
after I've had more time to use it both on my Mac and Linux box.

Still in it's infancy, but the new release is slightly more stable.
If your using OS 9 please give it a try and please leave feedback at

MoreAmp 0.1.12

About: MoreAmp is an audio player that loads memory or a vdisk with
many songs so the hard disk can spin down while playing them (saving
batteries and reducing noise). It plays and makes ogg, flac, wav,
aif, mp3, and aac files and plays audio CDs and wma, mp1, mp2, m2a,
and m4a files. It has an easy-to use 31-band equalizer, variable
pitch/tempo, repeat loop, and more.

What does Moreamp do that Audion doesn't?
http://www.panic.com/audion/
I'll post something on the sourceforge site shortly.
FWIW, I'm unimpressed.
PowerMac 7300/180, 224MB RAM, 225MB Virtual
running OS 9.2.2 (with OS 9 Helper).
Moreamp wants a 32 MB memory partition; 4x what Audion and iTunes 2
require.
Visually, the interface looks very complicated. And the standard
keyboard shortcuts (eg: cmd-Q) don't work.
Tried playing an mp3 (44 KHz, 192 Kbps).
Audion and iTunes begin play it within a second or two after the drop.
Those two apps are insensative to context switching, etc. IOW,
switching to another app, typing, and other activities work fine and
do not interrupt the music in any way.
Moreamp took almost 30 seconds to make it's first peep after the drop.
Then the whole mp3 played s l o w l y; sounded like m'thumb was on
the record player. Even that much noise stopped when I clicked on the
desktop (so Moreamp was no longer the foreground app). I finally
figured out that the 2d green blobs in the upper left window are
actually buttons. Turned off the equalizer. Now the mp3 plays fine -
sounds good even. BUT... As soon as I switch to another app, it
begins breaking up. I cannot type text in this Eudora window when the
mp3 is playing! hum. My IRC connections and AIM just broke. Looks
like Moreamp is a serious system pig.
