There is an MP3 player plug in by Arboretum systems http://www.arboretum.com (creators of Hyperprism, Raygun & Ionizer) called "Realizer". Right now I think its only for SoundJam (Mac) or WinAmp (PC) but it can REALLY beef up thin sounding mp3s with a lil tweaking. Here is the marketing blurb from the webpage: "Unlike conventional equalizers and bass/treble controls, Realizer actually adds missing frequencies and synthesizes new harmonics to recreate the sizzling realism of the original recording. Arboretum Realizer combines proprietary Bass Maximizer, Harmonic Exciter and Stereo Enhancement algorithms - the same processes found in Arboretum's professional Hyperprism products - in a simple-to-use interface designed for personal music enjoyment. Realizer is completely user-configurable and includes a number of factory settings designed to bring the most out of each musical style." This isnt snake-oil fakeware, it REALLY does make many mp3s sound better, especially electronic music of any kind - and its a FREE download! ernie Ernesto Ikerd, (817) 763-4795 Company Graphics, Dept 17, MZ-4202 Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company Fort Worth, Texas --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
