I think the Pentium OverDrive 83 just doesn't have the oomph to decode M4A files. M4A uses AAC (Advanced Audio Coding), which was first established in 1997, so it was probably designed with sixth-gen CPUs like the Pentium II in mind. A YT channel called CPU Galaxy recently did a video seeing what type of 486 was needed to decode MP3 in MXPlay on DOS; it would be interesting to see a follow-up seeing what the minimum CPU for decoding AAC/M4A files is. My guess would probably be a Pentium MMX or maybe one of the higher-clocked vanilla Pentium CPUs.
I have a P5-166 which can be underclocked down to 75Mhz. I suppose I could try playing AAC there with different CPU clocks and see where it breaks down. But who am I kidding, I'll never get around to that.
Actually I just thought about it. The 83MHz OverDrive (assuming he still has that installed) seems like it has maybe 60% of the oomph needed. That would mean you'd need a 133-150MHz Pentium. However the OverDrive is using the slower 486 bus. With the faster Pentium bus I'd guess a 100MHz CPU would be enough.

Yeah, AAC is just too much for a 486. The funny thing is, with newer codecs like Opus and xHE-AAC it would be possible to cram even more audio onto floppies in CD-like quality. And it's also possible to overformat disks :)
You can improve the short (8.3) filenames on the floppy disks by copying them onto new floppies on a Windows 95 or 98 machine with the NameNumericTail setting set to 0 in the registry. This would get rid of the ugly "~1"s you see in most file names and actually have 8-character descriptions instead of just 6, while of course maintaining the long file names as well.
That is super cool! I love that there is a tradition of marrying musical and computer technology, going back to the early 1980's with data-on-vinyl inserts in computer magazines and music artists including Commodore data in the lead-out groove of their LP... The circuit is now complete!
Release some music (files) on audio cassette. Analog on one side the files themselves on the other. I've been meaning to write Diode Milliampere's Adlib Tracker II files to cassette, but KCS 0.8 sucks, I hope someone will make some easy to use audio tape data software using modern techniques.
Check out CPU Galaxy channel, playback will be improved upgrading the CPU to the fastest available for that socket/motherboard. Probably a 486 faster than 100 mhz will work just fine.
I didn't expect my native country Poland in Blerbs, but... here we are! :) Recently I ordered two "albums" on 3,5" floppy discs from Pionierska Records based in Poland. Very mellow, ambient music. I aproove, and you should too!
CPU Galaxy did a benchmark of several old CPUs with the exact same player software, and basically you need a Pentium for the high quality MP3 or OGG. That makes distribution on 5 1/4" floppies extra-idiotic. as a period-correct PC wouldn't even be able to play these files back.
Well, this is an intriguing find! Who knew that 5 1/4 floppy disks could hold such clear audio? I guess I was expecting something more.......compressed? Perhaps MIDI-esque?
That dos player u use probably doesn't support SBR (Spectral Band Replication) and PS (Parametric Stereo) extentions AAC received as a standarts? But the OGG Vorbis used in the 1st disk has twice its bandwidth so it should sound a lot better, I wouldn't care about 32khz sampling rate, we would be glad if we get 14khz out of it, but interesting idea nonetheless 👍
90's teenage me would have been all over that stuff! I still remember when I had a 4 CD set of mostly shovel ware that I bought around 1994 via an ad in probably Computer Shopper. Most of the discs just had shareware demos, clip art and stuff like that. But one CD was chocked full of DOS demo scene stuff, MOD files, tracker programs and fractal stuff. I can still remember listening to the theme song from Red Dwarf as a MOD file!
8 Bit Weapon released their 'vaporware soundtracks' on a black CD, in a 5.25 floppy sleeve (which acted as the jewel case) back in '06... wish I still had it. That was very cool for the time.
it looks lovely but i have to admit 1.2mb/1.44mb is just not enough for ogg music. A solution would be to use opus instead, aparently mpxplay can handle opus, but its quite a heavy format. Thinking about music in old formats, OGG on CDs would had been a great format, and thinking about how CDs work, you could tecnically make a cue file with ogg files instead and record that in mode2, though the problem is nothing will be able to play it unless you use that mode2 patch for "XCD"s. not sure but i think ogg can handle corruption without issue, so worst case you get a few sound glitches like with normal CDs. Or just use mode1 like they did for DVDs so it remains a more robust format.
Mhhhmmmm ogg files.... dreams of endless UT2k3 death matches and UT2k4 onslaught matches flash before my eyes. Press F11 to use in game music player for custom bgm.
Man... and here I thought I was so clever and trendy when my friends and I compressed the hell out of our collective's album to fit it onto a single 1.44MB floppy back in 2014
screamtracker is obviously good for creating those... but practically every other s3m program provides much better visualization. Cubic Player... is probably your best bet. It'll handle some of the other (newer) formats sometimes too.

OK, this is good 'n' all, but, I saw a video once where someone actually played music off a floppy. Not just read files from a disk, but the music itself was on a floppy. That's what I was hoping this was. ruclips.net/video/ziVXF_tM4Gw/видео.html Sorry to link to someone else's video, but I thought it was really impressive.
I'm from Poland and a said in Polish "What's in da hell ? " in Polish "Co do chuja?" When I heard this "songs" form Dead Fields ... This "album" is shit ...
When it said "Raw Field Recordings" I was wondering if they had recorded analog audio data directly as a magnetic field on the disk surface (like how Video Floppy holds 50 frames of pal/ntsc video on a floppy disk like format) But that would be near impossible to play without custom hardware.
cool. i havent used mpxplay since I had a headless DOS based car PC in my car in college in the late 90's. i had a AT keyboard stuffed in the center console and a ton of MP3's on a HDD.

Got a K6-2 shortly after I started the transition from mods and midis, so I didn't do a lot of testing, as the 400MHz system handled MP3s just fine. :)
"Sonntag" is actually pronounced with a z sound; the s followed by a vowel in German is the same as z in English. So it's "zonntag" if you will. For that authentic teutonic feel. ;)

I recall an old flip phone I had supporting ogg files. Maybe part of Vcast music or just ringtones idk.
You probably didn't have enough CPU power to play all the files (these good quality one). Try to play then on better PC with WinAmp installed.
Good old days, when you had to get .mod bootleg version because your computer couldn't play .mp3

Midis were cool too, depending on what sound card you had. ^^ But the struggles were real, trying to get anything below a Pentium to decode MP3s.
@@PeTTs0n88 I thought most 486s could do MP3s in real time, maybe it's just the faster ones. I would imagine there was software available to decode them ahead of time so you can get smooth playback afterwards. Was this the case?
@@eDoc2020 DOSamp was really struggling with some MP3s. It was better than on Win95 but some had to be decoded to WAV before playing them on my 486DX2/66.
@@eDoc2020 I guess it might have been bitrate and software dependent - I just clearly recall both a friend's DX2 66 and our DX4 100 struggling with 128kbit/s MP3s under Windows 95, running Winamp.
Got a K6-2 shortly after I started the transition from mods and midis, so I didn't do a lot of testing, as the 400MHz system handled MP3s just fine. :)
and those are nice BLERBS, polish BLERBS (gotta be patriotic)
"Sonntag" is actually pronounced with a z sound; the s followed by a vowel in German is the same as z in English. So it's "zonntag" if you will. For that authentic teutonic feel. ;)
Controversial opinion but 32khz sampling rate is probably fine for most people tbh anyways because anything above 14-15khz is not gonna be that music and you'll be able to barely perceive it unless you really look out for it.
