During the early days of MP3 Digideck was the player of choice for users with slow computers. It often featured best speeds on decoding benchmarks.

As one would expect it avoids some calculations to increase decoder performance, so audio quality is not on par with accurate decoders.

The decoder is very limited. It only supports 44.1kHz stereo MP3 files (and complains that 48kHz files are "low quality").

It does not have a native interface. Whenever the program is closed, the user is asked whether to change the skin the next time the player is executed. I included two skins with the file offered here.

It is also light on features. No playlist manager, no equalizer, no tagging, no WAV file playback...

Development stopped in mid-1998.
