LightMP3 is a MP3/OGG Vorbis/FLAC/Atrac3+/WMA player designed to drain little energy from your battery.

It can decode MP3 and ATRAC3+ via Media Engine with CPU set at 20Mhz, OGG Vorbis with CPU set at 50Mhz, MP3 via libMAD with CPU set at 70Mhz, FLAC with CPU set at 100Mhz. With battery at 100% and display set to minimum brightness it should last 9 hours; display turned off it should last more than 11 hours.

Originally developed by sakya and this is an updated version by ErikPshat to add support for FW 6.xx.

LightMP3 Version 2.0.0 BETA 1 was submitted to the Neo Spring Coding Compo 2008 (PSP Applications, 2nd place).

Features

  • Bookmark function for audiobook.
  • Skinnable and multilanguage (English, Italian, Portuguese, French, Polish, Dutch).
  • Support for kernel 3.x and Slim&Light.
  • Support for MP3, OGG Vorbis, ATRAC3+ (AA3, OMG, OMA), FLAC, WMA.
  • File browser.
  • Support for m3u playlist.
  • Playlist Editor.
  • Retrieve track's information from ID3v1/ID3v2 or Vorbis Comments.
  • Coverart retrieved from ID3v2 (only MP3) [image formats: jpeg, png].
  • Works with remote controller.
  • Playing mode: Normal, Repeat Track, Repeat All, Shuffle, Shuffle/Repeat.
  • Equalizers (only for MP3 played via libMAD).
  • Audioscrobbler log (you can upload your log to your last.fm's account with this page.
  • Sleep mode (the PSP will shutdown automatically at the end of a track or directory/playlist).
  • Media Library: scan your ms for media and then browse them by Artist, Album, Genre or make your search.

Installation

Installing

Copy the LightMP3 directory under either one of the following path depending on your Custom Firmware.

  • ms0:/PSP/GAME3xx/
  • ms0:/PSP/GAME4XX/
  • ms0:/PSP/GAME5XX/

The src directory contains source code that is not required to run the application.

Please note that default CPU clocks are higher than it needs. This is because if you have some plugins running you can encounter problems due to CPU clock too low. If you don't have any cpu-hungry plugin running try to set the clock with the following values. 

MP3 with libMad = 65
MP3 with Media Engine = 19
OGG Vorbis = 45
Atrac3+ = 19
WMA = 19

Dependencies

To compile LightMP3 you will need the following.

  • OldSchool Library MOD (OSLib MOD).
  • libMad.
  • libTremor.
  • libFLAC (built without OGG support).
  • SQLite3.

User guide

Volume Boost

Please note that by using volume boost (DPAD UP while listening to a track) to raise too much the volume you can damage the PSP speakers. Use it at your own risk.

Libmad Equalizers

Equalizer works only with MP3s played through libMAD. If you want to add your own preset or change the standard ones you have to edit the file equalizers.

  • This file contains one row for each preset.
  • Every row contains 34 columns separated by ";".
  • The first column is the equalizer's long name.
  • The second column is the equalizer's short name.
  • Then 32 columns with the equalizer's values (in dB).
    • Example: User EQ n.1;U1;0.0;0.0;0.0;0.0;0.0;0.0;0.0;0.0;0.0;0.0;0.0;0.0;0.0;0.0;0.0;0.0;0.0;0.0;0.0;0.0;0.0;0.0;0.0;0.0;0.0;0.0;0.0;0.0;0.0;0.0;0.0;0.0;

Audioscrobbler Log

LightMP3 can save a .scrobbler.log file that you can then upload to your last.fm account.

This feature is disabled by default. To enable scrobbler go to the options screen.

Coverart

LightMP3 will look for cover with any of the following conditions.

  • In ID3v2 info (only for MP3 files).
  • For a file named like the file + JPG (e.g. fileName.mp3 -> fileName.mp3.jpg).
  • For a file named as the album title (from ID3 info) with JPG extension (e.g. Album Title.jpg).
  • For a file folder.jpg in the same directory.
  • For a file named cover.jpg in the same directory.

Media Library

You can choose the media library root directory (the directory that will be scanned when you choose Scan MS for media).

Open the settings file and change the below settings. 

ML_ROOT=ms0:/
to
ML_ROOT=ms0:/MUSIC/

Bookmarks

You can create a bookmark while listening to a track. It also quits the application, the next time you start the player will ask if you want to load the saved bookmark. Once loaded, the bookmark will be deleted.

If you want the application to shut down after creating a bookmark edit the settings file as follows. 

SHUTDOWN_AFTER_BOOKMARK=0
to
SHUTDOWN_AFTER_BOOKMARK=1

Starting Tab

You can choose the starting tab by changing the setting START_TAB. There's no setting in the setting tab for this, so you'll have to manually modify the settings file.

START_TAB possible values. 

0 = File browser
1 = Playlist
2 = Playlist editor
3 = Media Library
4 = Settings

Skin and Language

LightMP3 is totally skinnable. More skins are available from the developer's webpage.

Note for Korean or Japanese, you must have flash0:/font/kr0.pgf or flash0:/font/jpn0.pgf (not all PSP has these 2 fonts). Follow these steps to use.

  • Set in the setting tab the default_KOR or default_JPN skin.
  • Set in the setting tab the Korean language or Japanese language.
