I'm a new user of this wonderful mp3 decoder. As anyone port mad under windows (VC++) ? I'm just looking for a simple decoder ( mp3 -> pcm) not a player.

There are stumbling blocks with building natively under VC++, but you can build MAD under Windows without any problem using Cygwin:

Once you have the library libmad.a, you can rename this libmad.lib and use it in a VC++ project. You may have to eliminate the decoder.o object from the library first though to avoid certain undefined POSIXly symbols. (As a result you can probably only use the low-level API.)

If you scour the mailing list archives you may find tips from others who have also embarked down this path.
