Re: [oc] MP3 Encoder?

[Lior Shtram <liors@flextronicsdesign.co.il>]

Hi Rob,

I did a little research concerning MP3 decoders and found out a very 
nice project that was done for a university by a couple of graduates (i 
think). I can't remember right now the name of the work but if you dig 
the web a little bit you will find it. There is a very nice article and 
the whole code in VHDL and source code is provided. The project consists 
of a VHDL synthesizable data engine connected to an off-the-shelf DSP 
(source code provided). If you are interested in this kind of project I 
think it's worth a look.

If you don't find it - tell me and I will look for it.

regards,
Lior
