Unfortunate that MPXPLAY still uses the non-standard license with the extra term that limits how people can use the source code. I'd love to see a release without that term. For those who are curious, the "license" (such as it is) is in the mpxplay.c file: //** //* This file is part of the * //* Mpxplay - audio player. * //* The source code of Mpxplay is * //*(C) copyright 1998-2015 by PDSoft (Attila Padar)* //*http://mpxplay.sourceforge.net * //* email: mpxp...@freemail.hu* //** //* This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, * //* but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of* //* MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. * //* Please contact with the author (with me) if you want to use * //* or modify this source.* //** Jim ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

Hi! Forwarding from the BTTR forum - note that some source code still contains the following header, which could be problematic: "Please contact with the author (with me) if you want to use or modify this source." Also note that in the announcement quoted below, I have removed changes which only affect the Windows version. So depending on whether you use the DOS, Windows or other versions, you can get even more cool things by updating :-) I am not sure whether the DOS version also uses the new FFmpeg library. Either way, check out the update. Still plays audio even on AC97 and HDA in DOS :-) Regards, Eric http://mpxplay.sourceforge.net/ Mpxplay DOS console portable versions Mpxplay v1.66 DOS/32 October 24. 2021 with DOS32A extender (inc.
