I need an mp3 decoder (no need for encoding), and since I already own Intel IPP, I wonder if I can use it instead searching for other libraries such as mpg123 or ffmpeg. This page contains IPP sample archive:
There is something called UMC, which should be generalized codec system, but the documentation is virtually nonexistent, it is spread between many subprojects and the downloads are different for Windows & Mac.
Is UMC the right way to go to get an MP3 decoder? Does it work on both Windows & Mac?
