What's the point?
=================
BASS is an audio library for use in Windows and MacOSX software. Its
purpose is to provide the most powerful and efficient (yet easy to use),
sample, stream, MOD music, and recording functions. All in a tiny DLL,
under 100KB in size.

See the documentation for descriptions of all the BASS functions. You
should also look at the included example program source-codes for some
examples of how to use BASS in your own programs.


Requirements
============
Win32 version
-------------
BASS requires DirectX 3 or above for output. BASS does not require that a
soundcard with DirectSound/DirectSound3D hardware accelerated drivers is
installed, but it does improve performance if there is one. BASS also takes
advantage of MMX, which improves the performance of the MOD music playback.

MacOSX version
--------------
OSX 10.3 or above is recommended. BASS uses CoreAudio for output, so there
are no special library/driver requirements. BASS supports both PowerPC and
Intel Macs.


Main Features
=============
* Samples
  supports WAV/AIFF/MP3/MP2/MP1/OGG and custom generated samples

* Sample streams
  stream any sample data in 8/16/32 bit, with both "push" and "pull" systems

* File streams
  MP3/MP2/MP1/OGG/WAV/AIFF file streaming

* Internet file streaming
  stream files from the internet, including Shout/Icecast

* User file streaming
  stream files from anywhere using any delivery method

* Multi-channel streaming
  support for more than plain stereo, including multi-channel OGG/WAV/AIFF files

* MOD music
  uses the same engine as XMPlay = best accuracy, speed, and quality

* MO3 music
  MP3/OGG compressed MOD music

* Add-on system
  support for more formats is available via add-ons (aka plugins)

* Multiple outputs
  simultaneously use multiple soundcards, and move channels between them

* Recording
  flexible recording system, with support for multiple devices

* Decode without playback
  streams and MOD musics can be outputted in any way you want

* Speaker assignment
  assign streams and MOD musics to specific speakers

* High precision synchronization
  synchronize events in your software to the streams and MOD musics

* DirectX 8 effects
  chorus/compressor/distortion/echo/flanger/gargle/parameq/reverb

* User defined DSP functions
  custom effects may be applied to musics and streams

* 32 bit floating-point decoding and processing
  floating-point stream/music decoding, DSP, FX, and recording

* 3D sound
  play samples/streams/musics in any 3D position, with EAX support

* Small
  BASS is under 100KB (on Windows), so won't bloat your distribution


Using BASS
==========
There is no guarantee that all future BASS versions will be compatible
with all previous versions, so your program should use BASS_GetVersion
to check the version that is loaded. This also means that you should
put the BASS module in the same directory as your executable (not just
somewhere in the path), to avoid the possibility of a wrong version being
loaded.

If you are updating your software from a previous BASS version, then
you should check the "History" section (below), to see if any of the
functions that you are using have been affected by a change.

Win32 version
-------------
C/C++, Visual Basic, Delphi and MASM APIs are provided, to use BASS with
another language you'll first have to convert the header file. Or, as a
last resort, you could use LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress.

The downside is that you have to manually import each function that you
use, with the GetProcAddress function. But it has been made a lot simpler
to import BASS this way by the use of the BASSDEF #define. Here's a small
example:

#define BASSDEF(f) (WINAPI *f) // define the functions as pointers
#include "bass.h"
...
HINSTANCE bass=LoadLibrary("BASS.DLL"); // load BASS
BASS_Init=GetProcAddress(bass,"BASS_Init"); // get BASS_Init
BASS_Init(-1,44100,0,hWnd,NULL); // call BASS_Init

To use BASS with Borland C++ Builder, you'll first have to create a
Borland C++ Builder import library for it. This is done by using the
IMPLIB tool that comes with Borland C++ Builder. Simply execute this:

	IMPLIB BASSBCB.LIB BASS.DLL

... and then use BASSBCB.LIB in your projects to import BASS.

To use BASS with LCC-Win32, you'll first have to create a compatible
import library for it. This is done by using the PEDUMP and BUILDLIB
tools that come with LCC-Win32. Run these 2 commands:

	PEDUMP /EXP BASS.LIB > BASSLCC.EXP
	BUILDLIB BASSLCC.EXP BASSLCC.LIB

... and then use BASSLCC.LIB in your projects to import BASS.

For the BASS functions that return strings (char*), VB users should use
the VBStrFromAnsiPtr function to convert the returned pointer into a VB
string.

MacOSX version
--------------
A separate "LIB" file is not required for OSX. Using XCode, you can simply
add the DYLIB file to the project. Or using a makefile, you can build your
programs like this, for example:

	gcc yoursource -L. -lbass -o yourprog

The LIBBASS.DYLIB file must be put in the same directory as the executable
(it can't just be somewhere in the path). See the example makefiles.

LIBBASS.DYLIB is a universal binary, with support for both PowerPC and
Intel Macs. If you want PowerPC-only or Intel-only versions, the included
makefile can create them for you, by typing "make ppc" or "make i386". It
will also process any BASS add-ons placed in the same directory.


Latest Version
==============

Licence
=======
BASS is free for non-commercial use. If you are a non-commercial entity
(eg. an individual) and you are not charging for your product, and the
product has no other commercial purpose, then you can use BASS in it
for free. If you wish to use BASS in commercial products, then please
also see the next section.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BASS IS PROVIDED
"AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY
AND/OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE AUTHORS SHALL NOT BE HELD
LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY RESULT FROM THE USE OF BASS. YOU USE
BASS ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Usage of BASS indicates that you agree to the above conditions.

All trademarks and other registered names contained in the BASS
package are the property of their respective owners.

Commercial licensing
--------------------
BASS is available for use in your commercial products. The licence
types available are as follows:

SHAREWARE: Allows the usage of BASS in an unlimited number of your
shareware products, which must sell for no more than 40 Euros each.
If you are an individual (not a corporation) making and selling your
own software (and its price is within the limit), this is the licence
for you.

SINGLE COMMERCIAL: Allows the usage of BASS in a single commercial
product.

UNLIMITED COMMERCIAL: Allows the usage of BASS in an unlimited number
of your commercial products. This licence is on a per site basis. So
if your company has two sites that use BASS, then two licences are
required.

Please note the products must be end-user products, eg. not components
used by other products. 

These licences only cover your own software, not the publishing of
other's software. If you publish other's software, its developers (or
the software itself) will need to be licensed to use BASS.

These licences are on a per-platform basis, with reductions available
when licensing for both platforms. In all cases there are no royalties
to pay, and you can use future BASS updates without further cost. One
licence covers one person or entity and is not transferable.

These licences do not allow reselling/sublicensing of BASS. For example,
if a product is a development system, the users of said product are not
licensed to use BASS in their productions; they will need their own
licences.

If the standard licences do not meet your requirements, or if you have
any questions, please get in touch (email: bass@un4seen.com).

MP3
---
MP3 technology is patented, and Thomson license the use of their and
Fraunhofer's patents. The inclusion of an MP3 decoder (eg. BASS) in a
commercial product requires an MP3 patent licence. Contact Thomson for
details:

	www.mp3licensing.com

Alternatively, the "MP3-FREE" BASS version does not include its own MP3
decoder but instead makes use of the operating system's already licensed
decoder.

NOTE: When using the OS's MP3 decoder, BASS still does the file handling
      so all the usual features are still supported, including streaming,
      tag reading, pre-scanning, gapless playback, etc...
