Stuff: MP3 Player Roundup (II)About ThisStuffBY DANIEL CHVATIK, DCHVATIK@ATPM.COMMP3 Player Roundup—Part III hope you found the first part 1 of this series helpful. Although there is an unbelievable numberof programs on the Mac that play back MP3s in some way, I tried to concentrate onsome of the major representatives from each category in the first part. This time, I’ll introduceyou to some of the more exotic MP3 programs. Of course, I have to draw a line somewhere.I will skip programs like the new FTP client Hefty FTP 2 , whose ‘Bored?’ menu letsyou play MP3s while downloading. In the last part of this series, next month, I’ll wrap up theodds and ends, review the last bunch of major players, and list all the programs that I did notreview but that are nevertheless around.BayTex Party! PRO 2.0.2Company: BayTex Producciones, ChileWeb: http://www.baytex.net/Price: $60 sharewareRequirements: 132 MHz PowerPC 604 or faster, QuickTime 4.0 (for MP3s).Ever wanted to hear how N’Sync 3 sounds a few octaveshigher? Then BayTex Party! is for you. It’s a DJ tool that lets you mix songstogether, change their pitches, add jingles, and much more. Compared to some ofthe other programs out there, it actually has a somewhat tolerable user interface.As you can see from its name, it is mostly geared at DJs and party crowds. I have to admitthat I got a kick out of hearing N’Sync at 175% pitch, which makes them sound like a bunchof little smurfs. If you prefer, you can listen to them at 65% pitch, which makes them soundlike they’re in their mid-40s. The program is well designed, with keyboard shortcuts formost important commands so that DJs don’t have to struggle with mouse, menus and icons,1. http://www.atpm.com/6.03/mp3players.shtml2. http://www.ziggy.speedhost.com/#Hefty3. http://www.nsync.com/ATPM 6.04 ← 112 →Stuff: MP3 Player Roundup (II)
ut can simply hit a key in the dark of the club. Or you can prepare your mix beforehand andenjoy the party. Besides MP3s, it also plays WAV and MIDI files. It is somewhat pricey at$60, though.There is also a Lite version (currently in beta) for $15, which lacks some features but mightbe more appropriate for casual users. The Lite version also supports CD playback and collapsesto a small floating window if you want. Demos are available and are limited to 10 minutesuntil you register.ATPM 6.04 ← 113 →Stuff: MP3 Player Roundup (II)
