The '''FuturePlayer '''is a combination of hardware and software to play '''MP3 songs with the CPC'''. The bitrate can be up to 128 kbps.
The FuturePlayer hardware connects to the printer port. There is only one prototype which was build by Dr.Zed. The MP3 data is directly send via the printer port, which means that you have to store the complete MP3 file on a floppy disc.
*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.
