Coding Mp3 Player

hey

im attempting to code a console mp3 player

does anyone know where i can start?

i know very little about decoding of audio and very little about how the computer actually processes files and communicates with the sound card to play sounds

the first thing i attempted to do was find a mp3 decoder, unfortunately these contain many technical terms i dont understand (dithering? mmaping? 16 v 24 bit? etc)

does anyone know a good website or other source of information where there may be an article on this sort of thing?

also, is there, to your knowledge, a mp3 decoder which can be easily used (easily as in create code that simply calls the functions within a decoder package)?

thanks in advance for any responses
any help is greatly appreciated

Hey AirOgre; I don't know much more about this than you do, but I'ld
say here is a good place to start.
What you're looking for here, is the BASS and BASS Forum that
is, to my understanding, a pretty decent MP3/Ogg/WAV/MOD/etc decoder
engine for people to use to create their own players.

It sounds like what your looking for.
