Re: Recode to Play MP3?

There was an app for 68k Macs that would play mp3s, it would first
recode them to AIFF and buffer them and play them (or replay from
bufer). 
Just wondering, from a technical standpoint by Those Who Know (TM),
what it would take to do anything similar on the IIGS. I was thinking
that recoding would be done on a Mac or PC and then copied over to the
IIGS, but I don't know if/what the platform could handle.
A number of years ago I asked the same question. The consensus at the time was the decompression of the data on the GS would be so slow that it would render real time playback impossible.
