MMAudio Pak & Audio codecs (APE I/O Procs) v. 1.2 (20/6/2015, Gregg Young) Readme/What's new
PREAMBLE This package contains the MP3 support module (MMIOProc) from Russell O'Conner's MMAudioPak. The MMIOProc includes updates and fixes by Gregg Young. Since eComStation (v1.2 and later) already includes the Ogg Vorbis and FLAC support modules, eCS users generally only require the MP3 module. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS First, unpack the files in this package to a temporary directory (if you have not already done so). If you already have MP3 installed after backing up your current mmioMP3.dll simply copy mmioMP3.dll from this package to bootdrive:\MMOS2\dll. Unlock and overwrite the current mmioMP3.dll as needed. If you need to revert simply copy your backed-up copy of mmioMP3.dll over the new one. if it is not already installed there are two ways to install this support: Quick Install, which runs from the command line, and Graphical Install, which provides a graphical interface. Of the two, Quick Install is simpler and is recommended. Quick Install: * Run the included INSTALL.CMD * Press 'Y' when prompted for confirmation. * You should receive a message that the installation completed successfully. Shut down and reboot the system. Graphical Install: * Run the program 'Multimedia Application Install' from the Install/Remove folder (normally located under Local System on your desktop). Alternatively, run the command 'minstall' from a command line. * When the install wizard appears, choose 'Next'. * Select 'Add a MultiMedia Feature' and then choose 'Next'. * Select 'Install a feature from another location' and then choose 'Next'. * Enter the path to where you placed the files in this package and then choose 'Next'. * The Guided Procedures install program will begin. Follow the prompts in order to install the MMIOMP3 module. * Reboot the system when prompted to do so. You can delete this package and its files from their temporary directory once the installation is complete. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The MP3 MMIOProc module and install files are (C) 2000-2003 Russell O'Connor and Robert Leslie; see the included file mmiomp3.html for details. Licensed under the GNU General Public License. The installation scripts have been modified by Alex Taylor from Russell's original release in order to install only the MP3 support files. Other modifications have been made for compatibility with the eComStation multimedia installer. Gregg Young updated the MMIOProc to libmad 0.15.1b and modified the MP3 identification code to more accurately identify MP3s. A diff file of these changes is included in this package.

MMAudio Pak v. 2.0 (2/12/2000, Russell O’Connor, Matthew T. Ashland) Readme/What's new
The MMAudio Pak is a collection of audio IO procedures to extend OS/2’s multimedia system. It presently contains, mmioMP3 0.4.3 – an MP3 IOproc mmioVorb 0.3.2 – an Ogg Vorbis IOproc mmioFLAC 0.3.0 – a FLAC IOproc Refer to the above documentation for detailed requirements and legal restrictions on each IOProc. What do I get? After installation, these file formats can be played in any OS/2 player. Files can play by double-clicking on the file’s icon. Files can play in any Rexx program by using Multimedia calls. Files can be played with the Rexx program PLAY.CMD. Files can be converted to any audio format that OS/2 can write, by using Convert to in the context menu. CW-Multimedia classes enhance this feature. Files can be streamed over the Internet. Why not use WarpAMP or PM123? WarpAMP and PM123 do not integrate with MMOS/2 well. To control these programs with scripts etc., you have to use whatever interface they provide instead of the standard interface provided by MMOS/2. The OS/2 Multimedia Infrastructure Project has more information on this subject. Installing MMIOMP3 does not prevent you from using these programs. In fact, they can complement each other by having MMIOMP3 providing you with standard MMOS/2 interfaces, and WarpAMP or PM123 providing a nice user application.
