What's your personal experience of playing MP3 files (let's say 128kbps) on old hardware?
Yesterday I got curious about that, and tested DAMP (DOS player) on my 486DX2. It didn't work very well - although I could still recognize the song being played, it sounded like every one or two seconds it would repeat what it had just played (something like echo/reverb, only the sound was not distorted).
I read DAMP's docs and tested all hints about optimizing performance, to no result... is there any better MP3 player for DOS/Win3x out there, or is a 486DX2 simply too slow to play 128kbps MP3s?
