Changes
*The hardware part consists of a peripheral card which is connected to the printer port of the CPC or CPCPlus and to a stereo amplifier. It was originally developped by [[Dr.Zed]] for his CP/M computer. [[TFM|TFM]] got in contact with Dr. Zed and both decided to create the FuturePlayer. Dr.Zed build the MP3 card itself for the CPC. And TFM wrote the software for the CPC.
*The software itself is an application for [[FutureOS|FutureOS]] which plays MP3 songs and WAV files. For playing .WAV files the CPC [[Digiblaster]] is needed. For playing .MP3-Files the FuturePlayer card is needed (see before). MP3 files can be stored on hard disc (up to 5 MB on HD-20) or on floppy disc.
The FuturePlayer-MP3 expanson card was first shown 2004 at the [[COM II|COM-II]] meeting in Frankfurt am Main. At the moment it can not be bought from Dr. Zed or in Stores. But you can contact him.
